Szóló - Dolce MV
A beautifully balanced sweet Tokaj that invites another sip with every taste. This multi-vintage cuvée combines the depth and nobility of Aszú with the brightness of late-harvest fruit, resulting in a wine that is indulgent yet remarkably light on its feet. The nose is expressive and layered, opening with candied orange peel, peach compote, and baked pear, followed by acacia honey, vanilla, cinnamon, and a touch of saffron. On the palate, lush sweetness is perfectly countered by vibrant natural acidity, giving precision and lift to the wine’s rich core. Apricot, quince, and citrus marmalade unfold over a fine mineral backbone, leading to a long, silky finish marked by gentle botrytis spice and freshness. A modern, elegant expression of sweet Tokaj — generous, harmonious, and dangerously drinkable.

Vinification
This wine is a multi-vintage blend composed of Aszú wines from 2021 (32%) and 2022 (40%), complemented by late-harvest fruit from 2023 (28%). All grapes were hand-harvested, with the botrytised berries undergoing 5–7 days of skin contact before gentle pressing in a pneumatic press. Fermentation took place primarily in stainless steel, followed by long élevage in a combination of medium-toast 200 L Zemplén (Kalina) oak barrels and stainless steel.
The wine spent between 22 months and 4 years on fine lees, without bâtonnage, allowing complexity to build naturally while preserving clarity and freshness. Bottled in September and December 2025, this Dolce was carefully shaped to balance richness with elegance — a sweet wine defined not by weight, but by harmony, precision, and drinkability.
