50cl Tokaji Late Harvest Classic Cuvée, Tokaj Classic Winery
Ref. 0772
Tokaj Classic, which is owned by three classical musicians, uses 30 year old vines to make this Late Harvest wine. A light teak gold, concentrated, intense and sweet. A wonderful nose of sugared apricots followed by apricot and pineapple flavours and a citrus and honeyed background. Full bodied with and excellently balanced between sweetness and acidity. A lovely wine to enjoy with or without dessert.

- Other info: The winery is situated in the ancient town of Mad and there are eight hectares under vine in the 'Grand Cru' Kiraly and Betsek areas, planted to Furmint, Harslevelu and Muscat. It is owned by cellist Andras Bruhacs and two German fellow classical musicians. The vines average age is around 30 years old, producing extremely low yields. Winemaking, in the hands of local mayor Imre Galambosi, eschews modern, high tech methods and relies on traditional vinification and barrel ageing.
