Borforgalmi 1959 Tokaji Szamorodni 6x50cl

Most Tokaji is produced using the Aszu method - similar to Sauternes, using grapes affected by the noble-rot, Botrytis, and classified in order of sweetness ascending from 1 (dry) to 7 (super sweet).  France's King Louis XV who declared Tokaji "The King of Wines, The Wine of Kings!"

Szamorodni is a different method, where healthy grapes are late harvested, yielding high natural sugar content, fermented to either "Edes" (sweet) or "Szaraz" (dry) and then typically barrel aged for many years.

This rare bottle is a 1959 Tokaji Szamorodni Szaraz; likely made from Furmint and Harslevelu grapes, made in a dry style.

Please note that there shall be a shipping charge for 4 bottles applied to this lot.
