Among the most prestigious sweet wines of Tokaj, this wine is produced by Crown Estates Tokaji, a modern estate dedicated to expressing the region’s historic styles with clarity and precision. The 6 Puttonyos designation represents one of the highest traditional sweetness levels, indicating a significant proportion of botrytised grapes, primarily Furmint with supporting varieties such as Harslevelu. These grapes are affected by noble rot, which concentrates sugars and flavours while preserving acidity, forming the foundation of Tokaji’s distinctive identity.
Production involves macerating the botrytised berries into a base wine before fermentation, followed by ageing in oak casks that allow gradual development and integration. The extended maturation enhances both complexity and balance, ensuring the wine retains freshness despite its richness. Positioned firmly in the premium dessert category, it delivers a classic and highly concentrated expression of Tokaji, combining intensity with refinement.
