Tokaj

Tokaj lies in the north-east of Hungary, where autumn mists draw noble rot across the vineyards and give the world one of its first great dessert wines. Its signature is Tokaji Aszú, pressed from botrytised Furmint and its companions, aged to an amber glow and layered with honey, dried stone fruit and orange peel, richly sweet but kept bright by fresh acidity. A father-and-son favourite for the end of the meal, with a mature, salty cheese, crème brûlée or simply on its own. Hand-picked by the Montague family.
