Royal Tokaji Blue Label

Royal Blue Label is a real treasure! It's a sweet Tokaji with an intense amber color and a dense, honey-like texture. When you swirl it in the glass, you'll see how slowly it moves, forming thick, luxurious "legs."

On the nose, you'll find rich aromas of candied fruits, like dried peaches and apricots, along with notes of honey, bitter orange peel, and a touch of spices like clove and nutmeg. It's a complex and captivating bouquet.

On the palate, it's absolutely delicious and elegant. It's sweet, but it has a vibrant, refreshing acidity that perfectly balances the sweetness, keeping it from being cloying. The flavor is long-lasting, with a finish that echoes all those wonderful notes of dried fruit and honey.

Puttonyos (pronounced poo-ton-yosh) are the traditional measurement used to classify the sweetness level of Tokaji wines, especially Tokaji Aszú. A puttony was a type of wooden basket or tub used to collect the grapes affected by noble rot (botrytis cinerea), which are the key ingredient for these sweet wines.

The classification system works like this: the more puttonyos of these noble-rotted grapes that are added to a base wine, the sweeter and more concentrated the final wine will be.

The Tokaji Royal Blue label with 5 puttonyos is a wine with a significant level of sweetness, making it rich and complex.
