Product Notes

Sauska Tokaji Aszú 6 Puttonyos is a quintessentially Hungarian wine of sublime quality. Produced in the famous Tokaji region, this wine exemplifies the lusciousness of fully botrytised, late-harvest Furmint and Hárslevelű grapes. It is remarkably rich and concentrated, revealing layers of ripe apricot, honey, and spice notes underpinned by zippy acidity. Its intensity, complexity, and incredibly long finish distinguish it as one of Hungary's premier sweet wines. Aged in oak barrels for several years, it becomes smoother, gain complexity and deeper flavours over time. Overall, it's an exceptional wine, a testament to Sauska's deft craftsmanship.

Tasting Notes

Bright golden color. Cantaloupe and dried apricot in the nose with a hint of vanilla. The sugar is in perfect balance with its vibrant and lively acids.
