Product Notes

Sauska Late Harvest Cuvée is a complex and luxurious dessert wine produced in Hungary. Made with a blend of Furmint, Hárslevelű, and Yellow Muscat grapes, this intensely sweet wine is a genuine culinary delight. Its aromas are characterized by a bouquet of orange blossoms, quince, and honey, while on the palate, it offers a beautiful blend of ripe tropical fruit flavors and a touch of minerality. The wine's acidity is well balanced, and its silky texture adds an extra level of indulgence. It is an excellent choice for pairing with fresh fruit, creamy desserts, or blue cheeses, making it perfect for special occasions or a luxurious evening treat.

Tasting Notes

A beautiful nose of pineapple, dried apricot and acacia. Tropical fruits, mostly mango and papaya dominate the palate with some playful menthol/herbal character. The sweetness is wonderfully balanced with depth and freshness.
