Chateau Pajzos Tokaji Harslevelu H Late Harvest 2017 is a rich and luscious dessert wine from the historic Tokaji region of Hungary. Made from the Harslevelu grape variety, this wine was harvested late to ensure optimal ripeness and concentration of flavors.
Taste profile: On the nose, it boasts fragrant aromas of honey, apricot, and candied citrus peel. On the palate, it is sweet and full-bodied, with notes of ripe peach, mango, and orange blossom, all balanced by refreshing acidity. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a pleasant impression of honeyed fruit and a hint of minerality. Perfect for sipping on its own or pairing with creamy desserts, this wine is a true gem of the Tokaji region.
Many of these wines often have been touched by botrytis, and have a beautiful balance between fruit & acidity. Despite being lush, they often have some brightness or mineraility to them, and are not as thick textured as some other dessert styles. Classic notes would be honey, botrytis, apricot, peach and other stonefruit, marmalade, spice
By leaving the grapes on the vines longer than usual, the grapes become naturally dehydrated, and is used to make wines that are higher in resudual sugar & potential alcohol
They do not necessarily have to have noble rot, and is probably the easiest method to achieve sweet wines
