Royal Tokaji, Red Label 5 Puttonyos, 2018

$71.00

Royal Tokaji is one of the modern standard-bearers of Tokaj, instrumental in restoring the region’s reputation for world-class sweet wines. The Red Label 5 Puttonyos is a classic expression of Tokaji Aszú, made from individually hand-harvested, botrytis-affected berries grown on volcanic soils. Careful fermentation and aging preserve the wine’s balance, allowing richness and freshness to coexist.

The 2018 vintage is generous and focused, offering layers of apricot, orange peel, honey, and dried pineapple, lifted by floral notes and a subtle mineral edge. On the palate, concentrated sweetness is matched by vibrant acidity, keeping the wine poised and refreshing. The finish is long and precise, showcasing Tokaj’s signature interplay of richness, tension, and elegance. A classic dessert wine that is equally compelling on its own or alongside fruit-forward desserts and blue cheeses.

Varietal: Furmint, Hárslevelű
Appellation: Tokaj Aszú, Tokaj-Hegyalja, Hungary
Farming: Sustainably farmed
Style: Sweet. Lush, vibrant, and age-worthy
