RATINGS

93The Wine Advocate

...seam of blood orange and citrus peel that keep this focused and taut. Long in the mouth, with impressive persistency, this is the Birsalmas to look out for.

93Vinous / IWC

...lovely, resinous, laid-back bouquet that intensifies with aeration, developing subtle notes of marmalade, dried mango, sesame and lanolin...palate is very well defined and full of tension, and a citric edginess on the finish effortlessly counters the richness and mellifluous texture of this outstanding Tokaji. Superb.

PRODUCER

Royal Tokaji

Royal Tokaji was founded in Hungary in 1990 following the opening of Eastern Europe to Western business. Hugh Johnson, the English wine writer, is the founding shareholder and the idea behind the company was to revive the tradition of the sweet white wines that were once one of the glories of Eastern European winemaking. Today the company’s portfolio includes dry white wine, though Royal Tokaji is known primarily for its sweet wines.
