Production of Tokaji Late Harvest 0.5l - Tokaj-Hétszőlő

The grapes for Tokaji Late Harvest 0.5l - Tokaj-Hétszőlő come from the legendary sites of the Tokaj region. The northeastern Hungarian climate shows warm days and cool nights. Fog in the autumn months promotes the slow ripening of the berries and intensifies aroma and concentration.

The soils in Tokaj consist predominantly of volcanic rock, tuff and clay. This structure shapes the minerality and gives the wine its characteristic depth. The vines root deep into the rock and there find a wealth of trace elements.

The harvest is selective and very meticulous. The winegrowers stagger the picking over several passes in order to obtain only perfectly ripened grapes. Late-harvested berries with a high aromatic concentration are placed in small harvesting crates so that the grapes remain intact.

In the cellar, Tokaj-Hétszőlő relies on gentle processing. The grapes are brought quickly to the press, and the must flows softly and clear into the fermentation vessels. Stainless steel protects the pure fruit, while careful maturation preserves the natural sweetness.

The maturation takes place under temperature control, and fermentation is stopped at the optimal residual sugar level. The wine then rests on the fine lees, gaining additional creaminess and complexity. The classic Burgundy bottle with discreet styling reflects the traditional style of the estate.

The style of the Tokaj-Hétszőlő winery stands for authentic origin, precision and elegance. The organic seal (BIO DE-ÖKO-039) demonstrates a respectful approach to nature and vineyard, combined with a clear focus on varietal character and typicality of origin.
