Character: Radiating with youthful vibrancy and freshness, this 5 puttonyos Aszú from a recent vintage captures the exuberance and vitality of Tokaj's sweet wines in their prime. Brimming with lively fruit flavors and a zesty acidity, this wine presents a modern interpretation of the region's longstanding winemaking legacy. Upon the first pour, one is met with a burst of flavors that dance on the palate, including vibrant notes of fresh citrus, ripe peach, and a touch of wildflower honey.
