Also known as Tokaji
Legendary noble-rot Aszú — and a new wave of dry, volcanic Furmint.
In Hungary's north-east, autumn mists from two rivers encourage noble rot on Furmint grapes. The shrivelled berries make Tokaji Aszú, once called 'the wine of kings, the king of wines'. Today the region's dry Furmint is equally exciting.

Say it at the table
“Tokaji Aszú is one of the world's great sweet wines — apricot, honey and marmalade, balanced by lively acidity. The dry Furmint is well worth trying too.”
