About this winery

With its know-how and experience in Aszú winemaking, Disznókő is recognized today as being in the forefront of the renaissance of the truly great Tokaji wines.

JEFF JENSSEN, (Vintage 2012)

Straw-colored with gold reflections, this wine offers aromas of apricot, peach and pear. In the mouth, flavors include honeycomb, Bartlett pear and canned peaches. It finishes with sweetness that is balanced by the ample acidity.

(Vintage 2012)

Delicate graphite and exotic spice notes lace the apricot preserve and smoky, caramelized sugar flavors in this harmonious, melt-in-your-mouth sweetie backed by soft, citrusy acidity. The sweet fruit and toffee depths just don't stop on the lasting finish. Drink now through 2027. 185 cases made.

Neal Martin, (Vintage 2012)

Tasted at the Disznóko vertical in London, the 2012 Tokaji Aszu 5 Puttonyos is 100% Furmint in terms of Aszu grapes. It has a more complex bouquet than the 2013 with dried honey, grilled walnut, lanolin and yellow flowers, the kind of nose that seduces you, draws you in. The palate is medium-bodied with a viscous opening, spicier than the 2013, although it does not quite deliver the same level of concentration and intensity. It gently fans out towards the finish, although I would like a little more depth to develop, so that there is more presence. Tasted September 2016
