Domaine de Disznoko - Szaraz Szamorodni 2018
Disznókő is an estate located in Tokaj , Hungary . Declared a Premier Cru in 1732, it is one of the most suitable sites for the development of the aszú grape in the Tokaj wine region.

Disznókő owns a single plot of land with 104 hectares of vines among the 150 hectares of the property, and the winemaking cellars are located within the vineyard. Historically owned by various aristocratic families, the estate was nationalized under communist governments in the 20th century. Since 1992, the estate has been owned by AXA Millésimes .

It is then racked into barrels and aged in old casks for 3.5 years. During the aging process, the flora appeared on the surface, protecting the wine from oxidation.
