Straw colored with gold reflections, this delightful sweet wine has aromas of dried pear, fresh apricot and yellow peach. Flavors of fresh Bartlett pear, acacia honey and tinned apricots unfold on the palate. The finish is sweet, with just the right amount of acidity.

Fantastic nose of ginseng, dried apricots, yellow plums, brown sugar, honey, lemons and tangerine peel. Honeyed and smooth with layers of dried fruit and subtle earthy elements. Excellent balance and freshness. Tangy. 65% furmint, 30% harslevelu, plus small amounts of other varieties. So delicious now. Drink or hold.

This is the 14th vintage of Red Label since the company’s founding in 1990. At 158 grams per liter of residual sugar—officially enough to consider this 6 Puttonyos—it’s sweet, yet it’s also deeply savory, with marzipan, mushroom and ferrous mineral tones packed around the honeyed peach flavor. Acidity keeps it brisk and clean, ready to pair with a cheese plate.

Description
Royal Tokaji was founded in 1990 by well-known author Hugh Johnson and a small group of investors who were inspired to restore and preserve Hungary’s precious wine legacy after the fall of Communism. Tokaji is the world’s original sweet white wine – the 'cult wine' of the 18th and 19th centuries – and the Tokaj wine region was the first to have classified vineyards.
At the end of the 17th century, Prince Rakoczi classified the finest vineyards into: great first growths, first growths, second growths, and third growths. Royal Tokaji owns five of those first and second growth vineyards, including one of Hungary’s two great first growths: Mézes Mály.
The winery produces a range of exceptional wines from dry to sweet, including several single vineyard aszú (botrytis-affected) wines and Essencia, the free-run juice of botrytised (or raisined) grapes. The wines’ distinct character results from the varied volcanic soils of the classified vineyards, indigenous grapes and yeast, traditional winemaking methods and barrel-aging in the winery’s 13th century underground cellars. Richness with vibrant acidity is the hallmark of all the Royal Tokaji wines.
