NOVEMBER CUVÉE

2012

Lenkey's November Cuvée 2012 is a unique sweet wine from Tokaj. It was made from late harvest grapes in a year without enough botrytis for Aszú; they were picked in November, when Aszú grapes are usually picked and "late harvest" grapes have already been selected. The resulting "November Cuvée" is more concentrated and sweet than a typical late harvest Tokaji wine, but without the flavors of botrytis.

The grapes for the November Cuvée were picked across Lenkey’s organic vineyards in Mád and Bodrogkeresztúr, Tokaj. Aromas of peach and green tea, with almonds, sage, honey and citrus on the palate. Spontaneous fermentation with native yeast, and aged in Hungarian oak for 20 months. 3269 bottles produced. Residual sugar 108 g/L. 65% Furmint, 35% Hárslevelű.
