Made as ambitious dry wines (Tokaji száraz, Somló), off-dry and especially sumptuous botrytised sweet wines: Tokaji Aszú (legendary, classified by puttonyos) and Tokaji Eszencia. Highly susceptible to noble rot. The absolute star of Tokaj in Hungary, also in Slovakia, Slovenia (Šipon) and Austria. Native Hungarian grape.
