Sauska 5 Puttonyos Aszú 2019 is a premium sweet white wine from the Tokaj-Hegyalja region in Hungary. This wine is crafted from hand-picked, botrytized grapes, primarily Furmint and Hárslevelű varieties, which are traditional to the Tokaj area. The term "5 Puttonyos" indicates a high level of sweetness, achieved by adding five baskets of aszú (noble rot-affected) berries to a base must.
Sauska is a family-owned winery with vineyards in both Tokaj and Villány, Hungary. They produce a diverse range of wines, including sparkling, still, dry, and sweet varieties, utilizing both indigenous and international grape varieties. The winery employs gravity flow and ambient yeasts in their winemaking process to craft precise and elegant wines that honor nature, terroir, and tradition.
