SZT. TAMÁS – 1ST GROWTH TOKAJI ASZÚ 6 PUTTONYOS 2016

In truly exceptional years Royal Tokaji selects the finest berries from its finest vineyards and carefully produces a few barrels of Single Vineyard Aszú. 2016 is such a year, just the seventh this century, and the quality was so exceptional that we are able to release our widest range of Aszú wines since 2008. After late spring frosts, a fine summer and good botrytisation in autumn we harvested concentrated, intensely flavoured grapes and berries. These excellent Aszú berries with good structure and perfect botrytis were then macerated in fermenting must for two days. After pressing and finishing fermentation in barrel the wines were filled into one 300 litre Hungarian oak casks in our extensive, deep underground cellars to mature for over two years. The final blends were carefully crafted in the spring of 2019.

Szt. Tamás is a celebrated First Growth vineyard sloping southwest and overlooking the Royal Tokaji winery in Mád. The soil is rich, red, clay interspersed with indigo and purple volcanic rocks on and below the surface.
This wine is typically structured and concentrated with elegance and grace combined with power and backbone. Apricots and honey on the nose, leading to a lively palate with intense richness and depth and perfect balance.
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 pudding. Serve cool.
