Tokaj 2023 Vintage Report
Defining the 2023 vintage in Tokaj requires looking beyond the averages, as it was a year of contrasting fortunes and precise timing.
Early challenges emerged with a disrupted flowering phase. 105mm of rain during the bloom caused significant *coulure* (shatter), naturally lowering yields and concentrating the energy into fewer bunches.
The growing season was solar and generous. Accumulating 1757 Growing Degree Days (GDD), the summer provided consistent warmth that drove steady sugar accumulation.
Harvest proceeded under mixed skies, requiring agility to dodge the 58mm of rain that fell sporadically during the picking weeks.
**Style:** Classically proportioned wines with good balance and terroir expression.
