Disznókő: a bird's eye view of the vineyard

Subscribe to the AXA Millésimes newsletter

What makes the Disznókő harvest special?

At Disznókő the berry shows us the moment of harvest. We watch carefully. Because the winery is set in the vineyard we can keep a close eye on all the grapes and pick at just the right moment - all by hand. Not only that, all our wines are from our grapes only. So the wines really are the fruits of our labours!


. One of the longest harvests in the world?

Well, it runs from late August through to early, even late, November.

. And why?

Because we are waiting patiently for the aszú berries to develop.

. One of the most labour-intensive harvests in the world?

And at Disznókő we go through the whole vineyard to select these precious berries between two and four times - an unusual practice in the region.

 

The highly selective process includes:

harvesting the ripe grapes for dry Tokaji wines,

picking the clusters for late harvest wines,

selecting the aszú berries, the key ingredient of the legendary Tokaji Aszú.
