Royal Tokaji By Appointment Aszú 6 Puttonyos Kabar Issue no.11, 2018

Harvest was the earliest in living memory, providing good quantities with excellent quality. Aszú berries from the rare Kabar variety were picked on the 6th and 7th of August, the earliest ever in Royal Tokaji’s history. Good botrytis levels, outstanding acidity with ripe and rich texture.

Rich intense nose with hints of tropical fruits and spice. Very fine and elegant wine, full-flavoured with vibrant acidity, citrus and peach on the palate with a long, balanced finish.

After two days of maceration and pressing, the wine was filled into eight 300-litre Hungarian oak casks and transferred into Royal Tokaji’s extensive, deep underground cellars to mature for 28 months. The final blend was made in May 2021.
