Even before the Hungarian conquest, grapes were cultivated over the wine region’s 5,500 hectares of cropland, and the area was the world’s first self-contained wine region. A royal decree to this effect was promulgated in 1737, listing 28 settlements in the environs of which grapes suitable for the making of Tokaj wine could be grown. In 2002, the UNESCO World Heritage Committee included the historical Tokaj-Hegyalja Wine Region as a cultural landscape on its World Heritage list. The survival of the traditions of vine-growing that have evolved over the past 1,000 years in their pristine, original form and the integrity of the region over the length of a millennium justified the declaration of the wine region as a part of World Heritage.

“Vinum regum, Rex vinorum” “Wine of Kings”

TOKAJI ASZÚ

The wine has aromas of fresh dried apricots, spring chamomile blossoms, dried orange and tropical fruits along with a tender hint of pink pepper. Savouring it one may discover a mix of plum and apricot jam that fits well with it’s general fruity nature. A long, full-bodied wine of great complexity with high acid and sugar content that is present in round balance and harmony. The flavour fills the mouth with a long lasting, fresh taste.

Serving temperature:10-12°C

Harvest information
The Tokaji Aszú is made from 100% procured aszú (botrytised) grapes. A most fine vintage, Tokaji Aszú is of exquisite quality produced from harvested shrivelled berries fully encompassed by botrytis.

Winemaking technique
The wine mostly contains Furmint and Hárslevelű, but has trace amounts of Zéta, Kabar, Kövérszőlő and Yellow Muscat aszú berries. The base wine is made 100% from Furmint. We added berries to the fermenting base wine and left them to soak for 24 hours. After pressing it was fermented in tanks. Barrel fermentation takes place in our Szegi cellar where we let this type of wine age in 136-500 liter barrels for at least 18 months.

Suggested dishes
Recommended with mature hard or blue cheese, goose liver, chocolate desserts and créme brulée.
