The Classic Selection 5 Puttonyos Aszú 2019 is a premium dessert wine from Hungary’s famous Tokaj wine region. It is produced from hand-picked grapes affected by noble rot (Botrytis cinerea). As a result, the wine offers exceptional richness while maintaining remarkable freshness.
Why Choose Classic Selection 5 Puttonyos Aszú 2019
Tokaji Aszú has been recognised as one of the world’s greatest sweet wines for centuries. In fact, it is often called the “Wine of Kings, King of Wines.”
The 5 Puttonyos classification represents an excellent balance between sweetness and freshness. Furthermore, the volcanic soils of Tokaj and the cool autumn climate allow noble rot to develop naturally. Consequently, the grapes become highly concentrated while preserving their vibrant acidity.
