About This Wine
Royal Tokaji
Red Label 5 Puttonyos Aszu
It's okay to expect a lot from a wine with a heritage as fine as the Royal Tokaji. With 5 puttonyos of sugar (which means that this is considered a conventionally sweet wine as opposed to semi-sweet or dry), this is a wine that you should take your time with. This is the 14th vintage of Red Label since the company's founding in 1990. At 158 grams per liter of residual sugar—officially enough to consider this even as a 6 Puttonyos wine—it's sweet. It's also deeply savory, with marzipan, mushroom, and ferrous mineral tones packed around the honeyed peach flavor. Acidity keeps it brisk and clean, ready to pair with a cheese plate.
