The summer was hot, often with temperatures above 35 ℃, resulting in early ripening and shriveling. The grapes were ready for harvest earlier than at any other time in Royal Tokaji's written history. An outstanding vintage with a pleasant balance in dry wines and incredible richness in sweet wines. A pale golden, elegant wine with citrus and spicy aromas. Light and refreshing on the palate, spiced with notes of white peach and honey. Excellent balance, silky texture.
As a result of the late October-early November harvest, the overripe and semi-botrytized bunches were macerated overnight after destemming, then pressed. The musts were fermented in tanks, and most of the batches were aged in oak barrels for 5–6 months. We recommend it as an aperitif, chilled to 10-12°C, with desserts and fruit dishes. An excellent accompaniment to spicy Asian cuisine.
