Taut, structured whites with cutting acidity and a mineral mouth, featuring aromas of apple, quince, citrus, honey, smoke and chalk notes. 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.

Fresh, lemony Welschriesling, supple Müller-Thurgau, round Pinot Blanc, mineral Riesling. Slovak Tokaj (907 ha shared with Hungary): sweet botrytised Furmint (honey, dried apricot, quince).
