Royal Tokaji Blue Label Aszu 5 Puttonyos 2018, 500ml

Made from hand-picked, fully botrytized Aszú berries blended with a base wine of Furmint and Hárslevel?, sourced from vineyards in the Tokaj-Hegyalja region, where volcanic soils and loess support vines averaging 30 years of age. The Aszú berries were macerated in fermenting must for 48 hours before pressing, and fermentation was completed using native yeasts in stainless steel tanks until the wine reached 11% alcohol. Ageing took place over two years in 300- and 500-liter Hungarian oak casks within deep underground cellars.

Tasting Note:

On the nose, it presents grapefruit, apricot, and sweet spice with subtle floral tones. The palate is rich and silky, balanced by 7.04 g/L of acidity against 162.4 g/L of residual sugar, delivering a long, saline-fruited finish that remains vibrant and structured

Residual Sugar approx.: 162.4g/l
