Tokaji wine
Tokaji wine is a renowned dessert wine from the Tokaj-Hegyalja region in Hungary. It is primarily made from the Furmint grape, often blended with Hárslevelű and Sárgamuskotály. The unique climate and volcanic soil of the region contribute to the wine's distinct flavors, which can include notes of apricot, honey, and spice.
The production of Tokaji wine involves a special process called aszú, where grapes affected by noble rot are harvested and added to a base wine. This method creates a rich, sweet wine with high acidity, making it well-balanced and age-worthy. Tokaji is often enjoyed as a dessert wine or paired with cheese.
