Description
Royal Tokaji is a well-known producer in Tokaj, the Hungarian region famous for its sweet wines. Nyulaszo is a 2018 white blended from Furmint, Hárslevelű and Yellow Muscat, sold in the 500ml bottle common for Tokaj.
Foie gras, blue cheese and apricot tart pair with it, and it is good on its own after dinner. Small glasses and a well chilled 46 to 50°F suit it. An opened bottle keeps for several days in the refrigerator.
Questions about Royal Tokaji Nyulaszo 2018
- What does aszú mean in Tokaji?
- Aszú describes grapes shriveled by noble rot on the vine, which are picked individually and added to a base wine. This process gives Tokaji its concentrated sweetness, and Royal Tokaji makes aszú from Furmint, Hárslevelű and Muscat.
- What is Nyulászó?
- Nyulászó is a single vineyard in the Tokaj region that Royal Tokaji bottles on its own. It is one of the producer's named sites, so the wine shows one slope's character rather than a blend across the region.
- What is a puttonyos?
- Puttonyos is the traditional scale of sweetness in Tokaji aszú, counting how many baskets of botrytized grapes were added to the base wine. More puttonyos means a sweeter, richer wine, and it ranges from three to six.
