Established in 1990, Royal Tokaji's goal was torevive the wines of one of history's most renowned regions. With 108 hectares of vineyards, 57 hectares are situated in three First Growths - Szt. Tamás, Nyulászó, Betsek - and in one Great First Growth of Mézes Mály. Their 14th Century cellars are the perfect environment for their age worthy wines and looking to the future a new, state-of-the-art winery was built in 2010. Their wines have received over 100 international awards and are highly acclaimed worldwide.
Fordítás is a made using the traditional Tokaji winemaking method whereby pressed aszú paste (raisined grapes affected by noble rot) is re-macerated in fermented must. The 2016 Fordítás is made entirely from Furmint grapes, using the paste from 6 Puttonyos Aszú. After re-pressing and completing fermentation, the wine is matured for over two years in 500-liter Hungarian oak barrels stored in Royal Tokaji's deep underground cellars.
This wine is a bright golden colour and has intense aromas of dried red fruits with a rich botrytis influence. The palate reveals flavours of honey and nuts, complemented by a full body, lively acidity, and strong structure.
Serve chilled with Asian dishes, spicy meats, desserts, or blue cheeses.
