Zwack Dobogo AMARO UNICUM Tokaj Hungary

Zwack Dobogo MYLITTA Noble Late Harvest Tokaj Hungary from Hungary, Tokaj-Hegyalja, Tokaj by Zwack Mad Tallya Tokaj (12 x 37.5 cl)

The Furmint from Dobogo is a revelation for a dry Furmint and the best vintage yet of this wine. It is aromatic and elegant on the nose with good richness on the palate, where a touch of oak is used to give the lean Furmint fruit a hint of fleshiness. Light lemon yellow in colour, it has perfumes of vanilla, pears and oranges with some lime and a flinty, mineral note. On the palate it is dry and full-bodied with a lovely richness through to the finish. The Dobogo winery in Tokaj is owned by Izabella Zwack, the youngest member of the Zwack family. Her objective is to regain worldwide recognition for Tokaj and Hungarian winemaking. The name 'Dobogó' relates to ancient times when the hooves of horses pulling carts echoed throughout the landscape. (6 x 75 cl)

This is a modern Tokay, with a wonderful cleanliness of intense, apricoty fruit on the nose. On the palate, it is rich and sweet yet finishes dry with superb length. In the first step of aszu making, aszu berries are selected and picked directly from the bunches of the vine in several turns. Aszu berries are then collected in vats and crushed gently to make aszu paste. Aszu paste is subsequently added in measured quantities to a defined volume of must made of fresh berries or to base wine. Following a process of maceration , aszu berries are separated from the wine, which is then allowed to age for at least two years in wooden barrels and another one year in the bottle before sale.
