Royal Tokaji
Red Label 5 Puttonyos Tokaj
Only 17 vintages of the Royal Tokaji Red Label 5 puttonyos have been produced since its premier release of the 1990 vintage, 30 years ago. Red Label 5 Puttonyos is a botrytised wine made from Furmint, Hárslevelű, and Muscat. True aszú harvests are not an annual event because aszú berry development requires specific conditions for noble rot to succeed. This rich, powerful, complex wine features peaches, honey, and subtle spice and citrus notes, all balanced by the vibrant acidity that is typical of these wines.
Red Label Aszú 5 Puttonyos is produced from Aszú berries carefully selected from the finest classed growth vineyards from the Tokaj wine region.

Intense nose with lots of fruitiness and spice. Great structure and vibrant freshness with flavors of white peach and ripe plums, a perfect balance of richness, crisp acidity and a long finish.

"Bright and beautiful, this harmonious version integrates mouthwatering acidity with a rich range of pureed apricot, dried raspberry and orange marmalade, with hints of praline, crystallized honey and sea salt. There's a plushness to the texture without being weighty; this is long and expressive on the finish."
