Left Royal Tokaji

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.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 92
"The 2017 Tokaji Gold Label 6-Puttonyos, a selection of barrels from Royal Tokaji's single vineyards, has a very well-defined bouquet featuring pure Aszú scents, energetic and citrus-driven, with lemon peel, clementine and a touch of smoke emerging with time. The zesty palate is very well balanced with a wonderful line of acidity and, like the nose, full of energy. There is a sense of linearity toward the finish and an underlying bitter edge on the aftertaste that draws you back for another sip. Excellent." -Neal Martin

Decanter

D 94
"Made with only Furmint, the 2017 Aszú berries were selected from some of the producer's top single vineyard sites. A more vinous nose than the Blue Label, featuring honey, apricot, marmalade and pollen, plus a tiny pinch of earthy notes. Richer and more viscous, the Gold Label has a pure and intense palate of dried apricot, acacia honey and ginger spices, with great mineral acidity (8.2g/l) to refresh the hefty residual sugar (189 g/l). Dried fruit and raisin flavours follow to the long and mellow finish." -Sylvia Wu

Wine Enthusiast

"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"
