This wine is golden in colour with aromas of ripe apricot, blossom, and a touch of sweet spice. The palate is sweet and rich but with a clear structure, creamy texture and balanced acidity.

The Dobogó vineyards are distributed over five hectares in the volcanic heartland of Tokaj, around the village of Mád. These are the first growths of Betsek, St. Tamás, and Úrágya where Furmint, Tokaj’s main grape, can reveal its truest self, that of a very bold, unique, characteristic, fruity yet very mineral variety. The vines are planted on volcanic soils consisting of rhyolite, tuff and clay and produce very low yields.

The grapes were hand harvested and sorted in the vineyard. Upon arrival at the winery, the botrytised bunches underwent a press and maceration. Fermentation took place in 300 litre Hungarian oak barrels, 10% of which were new and 90% one year old. Mylitta remained in barrel for eight months, resulting in a slightly fresher, younger style.

Dobogó is a small, family-run winery comprising five hectares of vineyards in the heart of Tokaj, near the famous village of Mád. The winery is owned by Izabella Zwack and winemaker Attila Domokos, who share a vision for creating fresh, vibrant, exciting expressions of Tokaji, both in the ‘aszú’ and drier styles, while remaining faithful to Tokaj’s historic reputation for excellence.
