What it pairs with

  • Gorgonzola with walnut bread
    Classic noble-rot and blue-cheese pairing; sweetness and acidity balance the cheese's intensity.
  • Crème brûlée
    Botrytis wine and custard desserts share vanilla and caramel tones.
  • Duck liver terrine
    Sweet wine and rich liver pâté are a traditional Hungarian pairing.

History

Aszú production from Erdőbénye requires exceptional botrytis years; the higher-elevation plots are harvested later than valley villages. The 5 Puttonyos bottling first achieved PDO certification under the post-2013 rules.
