All great wine lovers know that the freshness and brilliance of these great Hungarian wines have few equals, Tokaji remaining one of the last bastions in the world to sublimate botrytis with such intensity and freshness.

From a year rich in flavor and heavily botrytized grapes, it offers a complex bouquet of oriental spices.
