Product Overview
Winery's Notes
"Kapi is a single vineyard plot situated in the upper part (150 - 180 m above sea level) of the southern slopes of Disznókő. A unique terroir with a volcanic, lighter clay soil containing a lot of rhyolite gravels. Kapi vineyard is planted with Furmint, the noblest and most ancient Tokaj variety. The Kapi vineyard has specific characteristics: the grapes ripen earlier here, the aszú berries develop very well, retaining an excellent acidity.
The aszú berries were macerated uncrushed in actively fermenting must for 2 days. After a long pressing, the fermentation took place in stainless steel vats and small barrels until the middle of December. The fermentation was much longer than usual.
It has light gold colour with green reflex. The nose is beautifully floral with vanilla, white fruit notes. The mouth is intense, rich, with plenty of fruits like pineapple and mango. Mouthfilling and structured driven by ripe and round acidity and tannins."

"This gold-flecked, amber-colored Hungarian sweet wine is made from 100% Furmint grapes harvested from the Kapi Vineyard. It has aromas of ripe peach, honeysuckle, white flowers and pear. In the mouth it is velvety smooth, with flavors of apricot preserves, honeycomb, peach and pear. Luscious sweetness is offset by bracing acidity, making this an elegant example of a Tokaji Aszu." -JJ, 9/1/21

"The 2015 Tokaji Aszú 6 Puttonyos Kapi Vineyard has a similar nose to the bottle tasted a few months ago. Dried honey, melted candle wax and a touch of star anis make up the nose. Later on, Seville orange marmalade and quince aromas appear. The palate is beautifully balanced with caressing honeyed fruit, fig, marmalade and apricot notes. It is brilliantly controlled and persistent on the finish. This comes highly recommended." -NM, Feb/2024
