Tokaji Aszu 4 Puttonyos 1996 Berry Bros & Rudd 50cl
Lot number: 401841
Winning bid: £30
What a rare treat for us here at SWA, this is a bottle of yummy Tokaji from the noble folks at Berry Bros & Rudd.
Tokaj enjoys long sunny summers, while dry autumns and the early morning mists, to encourage the development of noble rot on grapes. The Botrytis Cinerea makes the berries dry and shrivel, thus concentrating the compounds and developing the Aszú grapes.
The Royal Tokaji Wine Company, which has been at the forefront of Tokaji's revival, has produced this wine exclusively for Berry Bros & Rudd. It's promised to be a deliciously sweet, hedonistic wine. The estate makes every effort to preserve the unique values of the Tokaji region and is famed for its high quality Aszú wines.
Our advice? Don't just save this one for dessert, with the right steak this can be a real treat! Or try as a chilled apertif, there is more to this wine than just providing casks for our precious whiskies to finish in!
