RP 97Producer Tasting Notes
Deep gold colour with a hint of amber. Fresh ripe peach on the nose, spicy with hints of ginger-apricot chutney. Full but graceful to taste, intensely concentrated, rich and sweet, a tapestry of exotic flavours balanced with taut acidity.Vineyard Notes
The majority of Royal Tokaji’s vineyards are in the Mád commune. These include the First Growths – Szt. Tamás, Nyulászó, Betsek, and the Second Growth Birsalmás. Royal Tokaji’s Mézes Mály vineyard – a Great First Growth – lies within the Tarcal commune. At the end of the 17th century, Tokaji aszú wines were so well regarded throughout the Courts of Europe that Prince Rákóczi insisted on a classification of the finest vineyards around the 28 villages in the region into: Great First Growths, First Growths, Second Growths and Third Growths. For over 300 years this special terroir has benefited from Botrytis to produce world class wines.Winemaking
