Tokaj aszú is known throughout the wine world for its amazing quality and unique winemaking method. It is the most expensive wine to produce, requiring a combination of the volcanic soil of Tokaj, its unique microclimate, botrytis and laborious hand harvesting. It is a wine that can not be produced every year, furthermore, the batch sizes are not large, so it is a truly exclusive opportunity to have access to the best bottlings. The masterclass will offer participants the chance to taste 5 and 6-puttonyos aszús from both recent and older vintages.
