Tokaj: The Alchemy of Aszú

The Idea
Tokaj is one of the world’s most distinctive sweet wine regions. Its identity is not defined by noble rot alone, but by the remarkable way botrytised berries are transformed into wine. Understanding Tokaj means following the journey from vineyard to cellar, where geography, Botrytis and centuries of tradition come together to create wines unlike any other.
