Product Notes

Royal Tokaji Blue Label 5 Puttonyos is a highly celebrated sweet wine made from the Hungarian region of Tokaj. It is regarded as one of the finest dessert wines in the world and has won numerous accolades for its rich, complex taste. The wine is made using the traditional noble rot method, which involves harvesting the grapes late in the season and allowing them to develop a natural fungus that concentrates their sugars. This process gives the wine its unique apricot, honey and nutty flavors. With its bright golden color, luxurious texture, and perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, Royal Tokaji Blue Label 5 Puttonyos is a wine that demands to be savored and appreciated.

The wine regions of Tokaji are so ancient that their history dates back to as early as the 17th century. This was the first wine region to get the classification status in the entire continent of Europe.

Around 28 villages in Europe were classified into four groups of wine-growing regions in the 18th century by Prince Rakoczi. These regions were grouped as Great First Growths, First Growths, Second Growths and Third Growths. It also got the royal status when the Tokaji Wine was served at the French Royal Court. 

The Mad Commune area is where a majority of the vineyards of Royal Tokaji wines can be found. These vineyards have been in existence for over three centuries now. Located towards the north-east of the Hungarian capital, Budapest, the Tokaj region is known for its dry and sunny climate.
