Tokaji Aszú
Tokaji Aszú is a famous Hungarian dessert wine produced in the Tokaj region. Made from grapes affected by noble rot (Botrytis cinerea), it concentrates the sugars and flavors. The wine is typically crafted by blending base wines with soft, shriveled grapes known as "Aszú," which are added in controlled amounts to enhance sweetness and complexity. It features a rich, luscious profile with flavors of apricot, honey, and citrus, balanced by vibrant acidity. Renowned for its elegance and aging potential, Tokaji Aszú is a celebrated example of botrytized dessert wines globally.
