Hungarian term for a quality grade of Tokaj. Aszú is derived from aszalt (dried or dried) and refers to the botrytised berries used for the production of Tokaj aszú or prescribed in this state. The wine is characterised by a typical amber colour. Aszú corresponds analogously to the predicate levels Ausbruch, Beerenauslese or Trockenbeerenauslese. See Tokajer.
In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
