Sauska, Tokaji Aszú 5 Puttonyos, 50cl

🍷 Sauska – Tokaji Aszú 5 Puttonyos
Hungary | Tokaj | Furmint & Hárslevelű (with other native varieties)
Style: Sweet Dessert Wine | Winemaking: Hand-harvested botrytised berries (aszú) are macerated in must, then slowly fermented and aged in Hungarian oak barrels, allowing the wine to develop richness, structure, and extraordinary balance
Farming: From volcanic soils in the historic Tokaj region, where foggy mornings and sunny afternoons allow noble rot to thrive, concentrating sugars and flavours naturally

🍑 A golden Hungarian treasure—lusciously sweet, elegantly balanced, and endlessly complex.

👁 In the Glass:
Pale gold with amber reflections—glowing and radiant.

👃 On the Nose:
Intensely aromatic. Layers of dried apricot, mango, and orange peel are joined by hints of chamomile, honeycomb, and subtle herbal notes, all underpinned by a lifted freshness.

👅 On the Palate:
Opulent yet precise. Rich, mouthfilling flavours of apricot preserve, citrus zest, and candied peel are carried by vibrant acidity. The wine’s natural sweetness (149 g/L) is balanced beautifully by minerality and tension, leading to a long, silky finish.

🍽 Food Pairing:
A stunning match with foie gras, blue cheese, fruit tarts, or simply sipped on its own to end a meal in style.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Magnificent now, with the potential to age for 20–30+ years, gaining layers of nutty complexity and depth.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Sauska Tokaji Aszú 5 Puttonyos is a masterpiece of balance—sweet yet fresh, rich yet focused. A world-class dessert wine that captures the magic of Tokaj’s volcanic soils and noble rot legacy in every golden drop.
