In honor of International Tokaji Aszu Day – December 10th 2022 – Wine-Searcher’s Master of Wine, David Allen, tastes the 2012 vintage of a a 5 Puttonyos Tokaji Aszu from the Disznoko winery.
The Disznoko estate is known for its modern-styled examples of Tokaj’s famous dessert wines. The estate makes a range of wines, from five and six puttonyos wines and an Aszú Eszencia to a floral, dry wine made of Furmint.
The Disznoko property was first recorded in land registries in 1413, and winemaking must have been well-established by 1732, when the vineyard was declared a first growth in the first Tokaj classification. Historically owned by various aristocratic families, the estate was nationalized under Communist governments in the 20th Century. Since 1992, the estate has been under the ownership of AXA Millésimes, a French financial institution that also owns properties such as Château Pichon Baron , Clos l’Arlot and Quinta do Noval.
