Winemaker's Notes
70% Furmint and 30% Zeta. This
is a worthy successor to the great 5 Puttonyos wines from the 1999, 2000,  2003 and 2005 vintages. The growing season began 2 weeks later than usual after a hard winter and a cold spring. The weather improved dramatically by mid-May. Flowering was early in the first half of June in ideal conditions.  From then through harvest, the climate was very hot and dry, with the exception of occasional beneficial rains and cooler temperatures in early August. These conditions brought the grapes to optimal maturity with exceptional concentration and very high sugar levels. The significant day-night temperature differences in October and November, together with the moisture from the morning dew on the sugar-rich grapes, enabled the development of botrytis. These were ideal circumstances for the production of Aszu wines. The crop was ample in size and in perfect condition at harvest time, both for the dry, base-wine and the Aszu. The grapes for the Aszu wines were hand-picked in October and November in 15 passes at an outstanding level of ripeness during sunny, hot and dry days and very cool nights. Pajzos’ Aszu 5 Puttonyos 2009 was aged for three years in 220 liter, Hungarian oak casks, of which 30% were new, followed by three more years in stainless steel tanks. It was then assembled, lightly filtered, and bottled in July 2013. The stunning residual sugar level of 195 grams per liter qualifies the wine to be classified at the 6 Puttonyos level, and it is balanced by 6 grams per liter of acidity. The 2009 vintage’s ideal combination of great ripeness and vibrant acidity is the epitome of the Pajzos house style, and is considered an ideal vintage by the estate. 3,000 bottles made.
2006 vintage:
Pajzos’ Aszu 5 Puttonyos 2006 was aged for three years in 220 liter, Hungarian oak casks, of which 30% were new, followed by three more year in stainless steel tanks. It was then assembled, lightly filtered, and bottled in November 2012. The stunning residual sugar level of 156 grams per liter qualifies the wine to be classified at a higher level, and it is balanced by more than 7 grams per liter of acidity. The 2006 vintage’s ideal combination of great ripeness and vibrant acidity is the epitome of the Pajzos house style, and is considered an ideal vintage by the estate. The Château Pajzos Aszu 5 Puttonyos 2006 was awarded a Gold Medal by Decanter Magazine, 2014 World Wine Awards.
This was a great vintage for both quality and quantity. 32,000 bottles produced.
