Royal Tokaji Les Confrères 6 Puttonyos Aszú 2017
Tokaji Aszú

From the finest producer of Hungary's great Tokaji, this is a very rare 6 Puttonyos sweetie from a very fine vintage. Made like Sauternes from noble rot grapes, it's intense, sweet and honeyed with hints of apricot, quince and rapier like freshness.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.
But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.
The Wine
Tokaji is the ancient wine of Hungary, once served at all the royal courts of Europe. However, it fell from grace as communism took hold last century. The great Hugh Johnson and fellow devotees bided their time, then when the curtain was lifted, were first in to invest significantly in rebuilding its reputation. They formed the Royal Tokaji Company, today’s leaders in Tokaji, cultivated the best Grand Cru sites and revived the great tradition. You may have tried their very lovely 5 Puttonyos or their Late Harvest, but their 6 Puttonyos is hardly ever made. Like Sauternes, it uses noble rot grapes - the larger the Puttonyos, the greater the noble rot portion. This is a masterpiece of intense sweetness and dazzling acidity. A wine to savour.
