Szamorodni is Tokaj’s other traditional botrytised sweet wine style. It differs from Aszú in the way grapes are picked for it. For Szamorodni, the crop is not picked berry by berry as for Aszú wines, but whole bunches that are partially affected by botrytis are harvested and then pressed.At least half of the bunches we picked for this particular wine were affected by botrytis.
