The name Disznoko meaning "the rock of the wild boar" was first recorded in 1413 and refers to a large rock atop a small hill overlooking the vineyards. Listed as a "first growth" as far back as 1732, this 150ha vineyard in the south west of the Tokaji region has long been regarded as one of the region's finest. As with much of Tokaji, Disznoko's fortunes suffered under nationalization during the Communist era. But, in 1992, it was purchased by AXA Millesimes (owners of Chateau Pichon Longueville and Quinta do Noval, amongst others) who have reinvigorated Disznoko and put in the love and investment required to return it to the top rank of Tokaji estates.

With the vivacious acidity balancing the sweetness, Disznoko Tokaji Aszu 5 puttonyos can be savoured on its own, instead of dessert, at the end of the meal or chilled as a refreshing aperitif or with canapes, pates, or foie gras. Also excellent with a wide range of dishes such as poultry, white meat with cream-based sauces, mushroom or seafood risotto. East Asian, slightly spicy dishes such as Thai green curry chicken. With younger, not too salty blue cheeses, or simply with fruit (apricot, pears or fruit salads) or fruit-based desserts (e.g. apricot tart, fruit cake, mandarin sorbet). 2014 Disznoko Tokaji Aszu 5 puttonyos is especially good with mature blue cheese, with fruits or with fruity desserts.
Ready to drink but with significant ageing potential (20 years or more). To enjoy the finest nuances, Disznoko Tokaji Aszu 5 puttonyos is best served cool (11-13C).
