From the winery: It [2012] was an exceedingly hot and dry summer that brought very early ripening. Consequently, the aszú berries developed slowly, and the Botrytis along with it. We started harvesting fresh and harmonious dry wines. Then the tables turned completely: the Botrytis settled on the berries and suddenly 2012 became the vintage with the most Botrytis! The humidity was too high for the intense shrivelling we had expected so we finally selected less aszú grapes. Though still young (in oak), these rich and harmonious wines are exceedingly promising.
