ABOUT THIS WINE

This 3 Puttonyos Tokaji Aszu is a classic example of Hungary’s famous sweet wine made from hand-harvested botrytized (noble rot) grapes. The "Puttonyos" measurement refers to the sweetness level, with 3 Puttonyos representing a moderate sweetness, making it approachable while maintaining complexity. Fermentation occurs in small barrels, followed by maturation in oak casks for years, resulting in a wine with depth and ageability.

The 2016 vintage strikes a harmonious balance between the honeyed richness and the bright, zesty acidity that makes Tokaji Aszu so legendary.
