The wine region of Tokaj
Cradle of the legendary Tokaji Aszú, "king of wines" per Louis XIV. Noble sweet wines based on Furmint (lively acidity prone to botrytis) and floral Hárslevelű ("linden leaf"): amber robe, signature aromas of honey, candied apricot, quince, orange peel, saffron, sustained sugar balanced by tense acidity. Measured in "puttonyos" (3 to 6) with Aszú Eszencia at the top. Also dry Furmint on the rise, straight and mineral.
The word of the wine: Maturation
Transformation undergone by the grape when it is enriched with sugar and loses some of its acidity to reach maturity.
