What it pairs with
-
Stilton with oatcakes
Noble-rot sweetness and high acidity are the classic foil for strong blue cheese. -
Hungarian sour cherry cake
The Aszú's fruit-forward sweetness echoes the tart cherry in this traditional dessert. -
Smoked duck breast
The wine's sweetness and acidity cut through smoky richness.
History
Aszú production in northern Sárospatak benefits from the town's historic wine-cellar culture; the post-2013 PDO reform standardised Aszú at 5 and 6 Puttonyos only.
- 2013 — PDO reform finalised; Fekete Pince certified first 5 Puttonyos under new rules
