Tokaj wine can be dry or sweet and in the latter case is called "aszù". The richness in sugar is measured in "puttonyos", which corresponds to the quantity of noble grains incorporated in the clear wine. The “puttony” was the name of the winegrowers' hood and contained around 25 kg of grapes. The great Tokaj for keeping are also the sweetest: they are aszús and eszencias.
Tokaj Aszú is a marvel of sweetness. The roasted grapes are separated and crushed delicately to obtain a paste called "Aszú". The more puttonyos you add, the sweeter the wine. This mixture completes the fermentation and then stays in barrels for 3 to 6 years, depending on the number of puttonyos added. Tokaj Aszùs are wines of a very beautiful old gold color. They present elegant, fine and complex aromas on the nose with fruity nuances reminiscent of apricot, plum, peach or even orange, or even honey, spices, resin and nuts. On the palate, the Tokaj is sumptuous and incomparable. It is often characterized by an obvious acidity, a true signature of Tokajs, which gives it that airy side necessary to counterbalance the richness of the wine. The long finish is sometimes expressed on bitter orange and very often ends with a crystalline freshness.
Tokay eszencias are made exclusively from grapes affected by noble rot. As they are picked, these grains are deposited in an open thunderbolt. Under the weight of the grapes, a nectar very rich in sugar (its concentration is comparable to that of honey) flows and is collected in barrels where it remains at least 10 years. Given the high sugar concentration, fermentation usually stops very early, resulting in a very low alcohol content (less than 5%).
