Tokaji Sweet Wine

Tokaji is a white wine from the Tokaj region of Hungary. While it can be dry or sweet in style, the most famous Tokaji wines are the iconic dessert wines crafted using botrytised berries. The vineyards are cultivated in a volcanic terroir, which gives the grapes their unique mineral character. Each autumn, the shrivelled berries affected by noble rot are hand-picked and expertly transformed into the golden nectar that is renowned as the world's best dessert wine, unmatched even by Sauternes. Tokaji wines have a firm acidic backbone that lightly carries the intense sweetness, allowing their unparalleled range of flavours to shine.

Tokaji is a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO), and the region is part of the UNESCO World Heritage. Tokaji dessert wine comes in a variety of styles, depending on how they are prepared:

The entry-level wines are the late-harvest wines, which are typically made from aromatic grape varieties and offer the ideal introduction to the region.

Tokaji Szamorodni combines regular and botrytised berries, and this sweet wine speciality strikes the perfect balance between richness of flavour and ease of drinking. These wines are also well-suited for pairing with food, making them an affordable everyday luxury that can turn any meal into a gastronomic experience.

Tokaji Aszú is made exclusively from botrytised grapes, offering the complexity and refined character that have rightly made these vintages popular among wine lovers and connoisseurs everywhere. Opening a bottle will turn any occasion into a memorable experience, and they are perfect for celebrating special occasions. They are the ultimate pairing for cakes and sweet treats, or serve them with Christmas pudding for the crowning moment of the festive feast.

Tokaji Eszencia is one of the rarest wines in the world, made from the unpressed juice of botrytised grapes.
