2022 Tokaji Late Harvest (50cl) 

Tokaji Late Harvest (50cl) – Tasting Note

A beautifully balanced sweet wine from Tokaj, offering richness without heaviness and showcasing the elegance of late-harvest Furmint and Hárslevelű.

Appearance

Brilliant golden amber with copper highlights. Viscous in the glass, forming slow, thick tears that signal natural sweetness and concentration.

Aroma

Intensely aromatic and inviting. Notes of acacia honey, apricot compote and ripe peach lead the bouquet, followed by candied orange peel, pineapple and baked apple. Subtle layers of blossom, saffron and a gentle hint of botrytis add complexity, with a delicate thread of vanilla and spice beneath.

Palate

Lusciously sweet yet beautifully balanced. Flavours of apricot preserve, mango and citrus marmalade unfold across a silky texture. Fresh, vibrant acidity typical of Tokaj prevents any cloying character, lifting the sweetness and adding precision. Honeyed richness carries through to a long finish marked by orange zest, spice and a touch of minerality.

Food Pairing

A versatile dessert wine that pairs exceptionally well with:

• Blue cheeses such as Roquefort or Stilton

• Foie gras or duck liver parfait

• Peach or apricot tart

• Crème brûlée

• Almond cake or baklava

It also works beautifully simply chilled as a dessert in its own right.

A harmonious Late Harvest — opulent, vibrant and elegantly poised between sweetness and freshness.
