Château Pajzos

Producer description of "Pajzos"

The winery is based in the town of Sárospatak in the Tokaj-Hegyalja region of Hungary. It has been owned by the French investor group C.F.G.V.T., which is managed by Jean-Louis Laborde and his son Ronan, since 1992. Château Megyer is also part of the estate; both wineries use the cellar facilities in Bodrogolaszi. The vineyards cover 64 hectares of vines in the eponymous Pajzos vineyard, planted with the Furmint (50%), Hárslevelű (40%), Muscat Lunel (Muscat Blanc) and Oremusz (Zéta) grape varieties. The quality wines are vinified reductively, the Aszús with air contact slightly oxidative. The winery is a member of the "Tokaj Renaissance" association and produces all the typical Tokaj brands. The outstanding Aszú-Eszencia from the 1993 vintage is regarded as the wine of the century. Only 5,000 half-litre bottles were produced. Fermentation in the barrel lasted over three years. The amber-coloured, viscous, oily wine has 530 g/l total extract, 435 g/l residual sugar, 12.5 g/l acidity and 4.72% alcohol by volume.
