This Aszú opens with intense aromas of apricot, orange marmalade, honey, and dried peach layered with notes of saffron and spice. On the palate, it is rich and luscious with concentrated stone fruit flavors balanced by vibrant acidity. Hints of citrus peel and tropical fruit add complexity. The texture is silky and layered. The finish is long, vibrant, and honeyed with remarkable freshness.

 

The Estate

Öröm produces traditional Tokaji wines that reflect the region’s historic reputation for world-class sweet wines. The “Metamorfózis” 5 Puttonyos Aszú showcases the balance between sweetness, acidity, and complexity that defines Tokaj. The wines are crafted from carefully selected botrytized grapes grown on volcanic soils.

Wine Making

Botrytized grapes (Aszú berries) are hand-selected and macerated into a base wine, then fermented slowly to retain natural sweetness. The wine is aged in oak barrels, allowing for gradual development and integration. The “5 Puttonyos” designation indicates a high level of sweetness balanced by Tokaj’s signature acidity. The 2019 vintage offers both richness and precision with strong aging potential.

Food Suggestions

This Tokaji Aszú pairs beautifully with foie gras, blue cheese, and fruit-based desserts. It also complements pastries, crème brûlée, and honey-driven dishes. Serve well chilled as a premium dessert wine or special occasion pour.
