The Aszú berries are left in containers for
a period of time before pressing. A tiny
quantity (perhaps 2-3 litre pre 100kgs of
free run juice is collected).
The base wine is fermented in stainless
steel at 18-200c for approximately 3 weeks.

The Aszú berries are macerated with the
base wine for approximately 48 hours. The
ratio of base wine to Aszú berries dictates
the level of sweetness.

The Aszú wines undergo ageing in our cellars
for a minimum of 2 years. During this time
the wines harmonise & develop complexity.
