What it pairs with
-
Duck liver parfait
Aszú's sweet-acid character is a natural match for rich liver preparations. -
Blue cheese with dried figs
Dried fig in the wine mirrors the garnish; blue cheese salt is tamed by sweetness. -
Fruit cake
Dried-fruit character in both the wine and a classic fruit cake create a complementary pairing.
History
Patricius began Aszú production in the outstanding 2003 vintage, using the estate's significant holdings at Bodrogkisfalud, a village noted for its reliable autumn fog conditions that promote botrytis formation.
