Aszú means “dried out”, describing the shrivelled, rotted grapes that are added to the fresh dry wine. Our Azsús are honeyed on the nose, implicitly sweet with remarkable, explosive fruit. The Birsalmàs, classified as a second growth in 1700, is that much more intense and complex. Nyulas or Nyulászó is a first growth vineyard whose name translates as “the rabbit warrens”. These wines are excellent now, but it would be very exciting to re-discover a forgotten bottle of either at the back of the cellar in twenty years time!
