The preeminent wine style of Tokaj. The wine is made from carefully selected shrivelled berries affected by noble rot. Hand-harvesting is a must for this wine. It is produced only in the best vintages. After 2-3 years of aging in new oak barrels, it becomes an exceptionally rich and complex sweet wine.
The nose is extremely rich and complex, with aromas of acacia honey, ripe tangerine, apricot jam, candied citrus, sweet spices and botrytis dominating. The palate is similarly rich and creamy, with flavours of dried fruit and noble oak aromas in the background.
