17:00 – 17:30 | Wines of Hungary stand @Hall 12, D20 | language: English
We offer a quick overview of the present of this legendary Hungarian wine region through four wines. We start with the most modern Tokaj wine, a dry single-vineyard Tokaj Furmint. This is followed by a late-harvest sweet wine, one of the most popular sweet Tokaj wines with its inviting, fruity aromas and zesty acidity. Then comes a Tokaj Aszú, which has deservedly earned itself a unique position in the field of premium sweet wines. We conclude with a Tokaj Eszencia, a wine unlike any other: it’s the free-run juice of hand-picked botrytised grapes, a heavenly honey-like nectar with minimal alcohol.
