The 2019 Royal Tokaji Late Harvest is a beautifully balanced sweet wine from Hungary’s renowned Tokaj region, offering a more approachable and versatile expression compared to traditional Aszú styles. Made primarily from Furmint with small amounts of Hárslevelű and Muscat, it showcases the region’s hallmark balance of sweetness and acidity. The nose is bright and inviting, with aromas of ripe apricot, peach and citrus, layered with honey, orange blossom and a hint of spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a smooth, luscious texture, balanced by fresh acidity that keeps the sweetness lively and clean. Flavours of stone fruit, candied citrus and honey lead to a vibrant, elegant finish. The style is fresh, approachable and gently sweet, making it highly versatile and easy to enjoy.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent introduction to Tokaji for customers new to the category or looking for a lighter dessert wine. It’s perfect for casual enjoyment or pairing with a wide range of dishes. Drink now or over the next 5–8 years. Ideal with fruit desserts, soft cheeses, foie gras or as an aperitif.
