Critic tasting note: (2017 vintage) "Light amber in the glass, this Aszú has aromas of yellow peach, honeycomb and a whiff of dried fig. In the mouth are intense flavors of white peach, apricot and a touch of savory herbs in the finish. Jeff Jenssen" - 96/100, Wine Enthusiast

Vineyard Notes

The majority of Royal Tokaji’s vineyards are in the Mád commune. These include the First Growths â€?Szt. Tamás, Nyulászó, Betsek, and the Second Growth Birsalmás. Royal Tokaji’s Mézes Mály vineyard â€?a Great First Growth â€?lies within the Tarcal commune. At the end of the 17th century, Tokaji aszú wines were so well regarded throughout the Courts of Europe that Prince Rákóczi insisted on a classification of the finest vineyards around the 28 villages in the region into: Great First Growths, First Growths, Second Growths and Third Growths. For over 300 years this special terroir has benefited from Botrytis to produce world class wines.

Winemaking

Fine quality Aszú berries with good structure and perfect botrytis were macerated in fermenting must for two days.

Ageing

After pressing and finishing fermentation the wines were filled into 300 and 500 litre Hungarian oak casks in our extensive, deep, underground cellars to mature for over two years.
