The Royal Tokaji Wine Company Blue Label Aszú 5 Puttonyos 250mL 2017

Original price was: $49.48.Current price is: $44.53.

Intense nose with lots of fruitiness and spice. Great structure and vibrant freshness with flavours of white peach and ripe plums, a perfect balance of richness, crisp acidity and a long finish. Summer was hot, so we began the Aszú berry harvest in early September and continued to pick steadily in the ideal autumn weather. In particular, October provided three textbook weeks for fine quality Aszú, with day after day of early morning mists, afternoon sunshine and drying winds. The Aszú wines show great structure, plenty of botrytis, depth and freshness with excellent complexity, all attributes of long ageing potential.

The fall of communism in Hungary saw many new beginnings, and one of note for wine lovers was the formation of The Royal Tokaji Company by wine-writer Hugh Johnson, and a consortium of foreign investors with the sole vision of revitalizing the magnificent sweet wines of Hungary. The Royal Tokaji Company today is a benchmark for the noble wines of the region, from their 3 Puttonyos wines at around 60-90 grams per litre of residual sugar through to the intense Essencia at 450-850 grams, they are wines that offer the drinker a unique insight to one of the great wine styles of the world.

Yellow Muscat wines, made from Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains grapes, are intensely aromatic with sweet, fruity flavors. They are often enjoyed as dessert wines, featuring notes of orange blossom, rose petals, and ripe fruits. These wines are versatile, pairing well with desserts and spicy dishes.
