Description: 

Château Dereszla Aszú 5 Puttonyos is a sweet wine of the furmint and hárslevelű varieties made by Château Dereszla in the Tokaj-Hegyalja region, Hungary. 

Château Dereszla is a century-old winery founded in the 18th century that is located in the Tokaj region, internationally famous for the sweet wines made there from grapes affected by botrytis cinerea, also known as noble rot. 

To make Château Dereszla Aszú 5 Puttonyos, the grapes are harvested by hand to carry out a precise selection of the grains affected by botrytis cinerea and whose final amount of sugar is specified in puttonyos. A puttonyo is a type of basket with an approximate capacity of 25 kg that is taken as a measure to establish the number of clusters with noble rot, which are called Aszú and which are subsequently poured into the base wine contained in 136 liter barrels of ability. The minimum quantity for this type of wine is 3 puttonyos and the maximum is 6 and the more puttonyos it contains, the sweeter it will be. 

The resulting wine is aged for three years in Hungarian oak barrels. 

Château Dereszla Aszú 5 Puttonyos is an excellent example of traditional Tokaji wines and makes a delicious and elegant dessert in its own right.
