Grof Degenfeld Tokaji Aszu 5 Puttonyos 1999 500ml

Crafted by the historic Gróf Degenfeld estate in Tarcal, within Hungary's legendary Tokaj region, the 1999 Tokaji Aszú 5 Puttonyos comes from an extraordinary, critically acclaimed vintage for Hungarian botrytized sweet wines. Made primarily from Furmint and Hárslevelű grapes individually selected for noble rot (Botrytis cinerea), these sugar-concentrated Aszú berries were macerated in fermenting must before undergoing long, traditional aging in oak barrels in cool underground cellars. With over two decades of cellar evolution, this 1998 follow-up benchmark showcases impeccable balance, rich texture, and classic Tokaj acidity.

Food Pairing: Pan-seared foie gras, mature blue cheeses like Stilton or Roquefort, almond or apricot tarts, crème brûlée, or served chilled on its own as an exquisite vintage digestif.
