From the producer: Rich intense nose with hints of orange peel and spice. Very fine and elegant wine, full-flavoured with vibrant acidity, citrus and peach on the palate with a long, balanced 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 the development of 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.

Royal Tokaji has some of Tokaj’s very best terroirs. There’s a story there: for decades, Tokaj’s choicest plots had been controlled by the communist state — up until 1990, when they went up for sale.

It was then that Hugh Johnson, the great writer and wine critic, seized upon the opportunity to found Royal Tokaji, with the idea of restoring the region to its former glory. As mentioned, very choice plots were acquired, primarily those in the famous village of Mád. winemaking and viticulture reverted back to artisanal practices far removed from the blunt, industrial operations of the communist state.

It’s been a decades-long process, but Royal Tokaji and other like-minded wineries have largely restored prestige to the region.

"Bright fresh and vibrant on the nose with good beeswax notes, truffle and scents of ginger and grape. Youthful with delicious purity of juicy fruit."

Wine Enthusiast

WE 96
"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."
