The production of Aszú wine (tear wine) 6 Puttonyos is a meticulous process that is only possible in good vintages and very special conditions that favor the development of "Botrytis Cinérea" (noble rot). It is still based on measurements from hundreds of years ago, adding 6 baskets (puttonyos) of 25 kg to the base must. each of Aszú grapes harvested one by one and covered with Botrytis. The grapes are macerated for two days until they increase in size, and then they are lightly pressed. Fermentation takes place in new Hungarian oak barrels. It is a slow process that can last up to two months. The aging phase is completed for two or three years in 136 and 220 liter barrels, and ends with one more year in the bottle. Together with 2008, the 2013 vintage was the second great vintage of sweet wines of the millennium, extraordinary in quality and quantity. Production in 2013 was 23,500 50 cl bottles.
