Excellent quality Aszú berries with good structure and perfect botrytis were macerated in fermenting must for two days. After pressing and fermentation the wines had a perfect balance. The wine was filled into 300 or 500 litre second or third fill Hungarian oak casks and transferred down into Royal Tokaji’s extensive, deep underground cellars to mature for over two years. The final blend was made during early autumn 2017 and the wine bottled in September.
Enjoy now or cellar for future enjoyment as the wine matures. Sip on its own as an aperitif, serve with fruit based desserts or hard cheeses or enjoy this mouth-watering wine on its own instead of a dessert. Serving temperature 10˚ – 13˚C.
GOLD LABEL TOKAJI ASZÚ 6 PUTTONYOS 2014
Rich intense nose with hints of grapefruit and spice. Full flavoured with citrus, peach and apricot fruit, a fine balance of sweetness and acidity and a long, crisp finish.
The first part of the vintage was characterized by a mild winter and little rain, although the mornings were quite misty. The rains arrived in July and lasted until harvest. This strongly influenced the quality of the crop and harvest. During the harvest we selected many time carefully for all qualities.
