Karádi - Berger Borászat ― Erdőbénye ― Tokaji borok

We had been waiting for this wine for a long time. We had always wanted to create a wine with the density of an Aszú but without that style’s attendant suppression of bursting primary fruit aromas. Our 2006 example is characterized by a scent of peaches and pears, rich fruit flavors with a hint of honey, and a massive sweetness deftly offset by vibrant acidity. The wine’s 190 grams of residual sugar would easily put it in the Aszúeszencia weight class, albeit it lacks the requisite age of that style. It still tastes young, crisp, and vigorous. We call it Selectio as it was made from first-grade, hand-selected botrytised berries macerated in fermenting must. And we call it Selectio because it will reach only a select few – a scant 450 bottles were made.
