The Royal Tokaji Blue Label 5 Puttonyos Aszú 2018 is a fine expression of the art of Aszú winemaking. Sourced from Hungary’s prestigious Tokaj region, this wine is crafted from a blend of Furmint, Hárslevelű, and Yellow Muscat grapes, all of which thrive in the unique terroir that makes Tokaji wines so exceptional. The 2018 vintage delivers an intense nose brimming with ripe fruit, spice, and botrytis character. On the palate, flavours of white peach and ripe plums unfold, perfectly balanced with crisp acidity that provides a refreshing lift to the rich and smooth texture. The wine is structured with great depth, complexity, and a long, elegant finish, showcasing the remarkable ageing potential of Tokaji Aszú.

Rich, Balanced, Refreshing

A harmonious balance of richness and freshness. Flavours of ripe stone fruit, particularly white peach and plums, are complemented by the wine’s bright acidity and elegant texture. The complexity is further enhanced by subtle hints of spice and a refreshing minerality, characteristic of Tokaji Aszú wines.
