What it pairs with
-
Époisses washed-rind cheese
Intense cheese and botrytised sweetness create a bold but balanced contrast. -
Quince and almond crumble
The wine's quince-like sweetness and spice mirror the fruit in the crumble. -
Duck confit
Rich slow-cooked duck fat is balanced by the wine's sweetness and firm acidity.
History
Olaszliszka's daily autumn fogs create consistent botrytis development that allows a small family producer like Lapis Pince to make Aszú in most years. The riverside terroir is valued in Tokaj's historical wine literature for its exceptional fog-trap position.
