Product Notes

The Sauska Late Harvest Cuvée wine is a unique Hungarian tipple characterised by sophisticated elegance. This luscious sweet wine offers a marvellously complex bouquet of honeyed fruits, dried figs, and toasted nuts. Fine acidity balances the sweetness wonderfully, creating a lingering, harmonised finish. Full-bodied and rich, it boasts a luxurious golden hue and an inviting nose. Produced from botrytised, late-harvested grapes found in the world-renowned Tokaj region, this exquisite wine is both a treat to the palate and the eye. Sauska Late Harvest Cuvée is an exceptional option for wine enthusiasts keen on discovering wines beyond Europe's traditional offerings.

Tasting Notes

Light golden color with greenish reflexes. Pineapple, dried apricot and acacia honey lead the nose. Tropical fruits, mostly mango and papaya dominate the palate with a touch of menthol. Charming sip, long, generous finish.
