Category-winner wine: Patricius Tokaji Aszú 6 Puttonyos 2016

2016 was a memorable year in Tokaj-Hegyalja. The grape ripened beautifully and noble rotting started at the right moment. The aszú grapes grown on the volcanic soil, which is very rich in minerals, were soaked in fermenting must after careful selection and then gently pressed. Fermentation took 32 months in 220-litre oak barrels. Apricots, peach and tropical fruits are dominant in its aroma. Its taste is full, elegant and infinite. It is a long, nicely balanced and creamy wine with all the virtues of Tokaj.
