2006 Tokaji Holdvölgy Culture Aszú 6 Puttonyos Branco Doce

Description

This is an exceptional vintage from Holdvölgy. With a deep golden colour and sweet aromas of raisins, figs and dried apricots, this Tokaji is a true work of art that reveals itself as smooth and creamy, with curious mushroom notes on the nose and tropical fruit on the palate. Its acidity is, remarkably, lively and youthful, almost masking the sugar content and drawing the palate to a persistent and long finish. Holdvölgy Winery is located in Mád, at the heart of the Tokaj wine region in Hungary, just a few kilometres from the geometric centre of Europe. Mád occupies a special position in the world of viticulture due to its unique soil, macroclimate and microclimate, and was documented in the 15th century as a meeting point for wine trade. Holdvölgy began early in winemaking, and today still maintains sections of its infrastructure that date back to the 16th century. Always aiming to achieve success as an iconic Tokaj brand, Holdvölgy now has 28 hectares of vineyards spread across the Mád basin, making it one of the largest vineyards in the region.
