Aszú represents the pinnacle of natural sweet wines in Hungary — a historic style crafted for centuries. Renowned for its richness, balance, and extraordinary complexity, Aszú is made from botrytis-affected (nobly rotten) grapes. Due to the specific interplay of soil, grape variety, and ideal weather conditions, Aszú can only be produced in exceptional vintages. Each berry is meticulously hand-picked at peak ripeness, with the natural sweetness of the grapes perfectly balanced by the vineyard’s inherent acidity to create a wine of remarkable character.
István Szepsy’s Aszú stands among the finest in the nation. With over 200 grams of residual sugar per litre and three years of barrel ageing, it offers profound depth, elegance, and layer upon layer of flavour. A benchmark expression of Hungary’s most prestigious sweet wine.
