What it is
The golden wine of kings: Tokaji Aszú — the world's oldest classified botrytis wine, from Furmint grapes shrivelled by noble rot in the Tokaj hills, measured in puttonyos (baskets) of sweetness; Louis XIV called it 'the king of wines and the wine of kings'. Origins: Tokaj's vineyards were classified in 1730 (the world's first such system); aszú production is documented from the 1600s. Made from: botrytised Furmint (and Hárslevelű) berries, macerated in base wine, aged in gönci barrels in mould-black cellars. How it's made: 1) Pick aszú berries one by one. 2) Macerate in must or wine. 3) Age years in the tuff cellars. Served: chilled, with foie gras, blue cheese or alone as meditation. Flavor: apricot, honey, orange peel, eternal acidity. Strength: 10-13%. Culture: Tokaj (UNESCO landscape) is Hungary's liquid flag; the puttonyos scale (now simplified to residual sugar) is its legend. See also: Pálinka, Unicum.
