The Year
A rollercoaster year with a happy ending. Cold but balanced winter followed by a dry, warm March and April dominated the preparation period of the year. Bud-break happened a bit too early in April. Due to the frequent rainstorms and cool weather in the shoot-growth period, growth slowed down during the summer, but we managed to keep up and started the harvest at the normal time, on 22nd of August with impeccable quality Chardonnay and Pinot Noir for the sparkling wines. 2019 was a stunning year for Aszú, with superb quality, even botrytis. Harvest was completed on the 16th of October on Dorgó vineyard collecting wonderful quality berries for late harvest wines.
