Grand Tokaj Terroir Selection Amphora Aged Tokaji Eszencia 2013
Grapes: Furmint, Hárslevelű, Sárgamuskotály, Zéta, Kabar, Kövérszőlő
The highest score – 98 points – was awarded to Grand Tokaj Terroir Selection Amphora Aged Tokaji Eszencia 2013, one of the most internationally successful wines of recent years. Grand Tokaj is the only state-owned winery of Hungary owning all the old vintage Tokaji Aszú wines made before the change of the regime in 1990.
"2013 was an excellent vintage with top quality, fully bot­rytised grapes. This Eszencia is the very first amphora aged edition, revealed after 10 years of ageing. Amber-golden colour, oily, dense texture. Intense, clean fruit flavours and incredibly rich botrytis notes become apparent in its aroma immediately. The significant smoky, smooth, oily texture lingers on with a fruity finish. The wine has a very complex taste as a result of lively acids and strong, penetrating botrytis traits."

Aszú Day – a bit of history
Tokaj Aszú is one of the greatest sweet wines of the world. Terroir, centuries old tradition, local grape varieties and the current generation of winemakers have all contributed to a matrix with the ability to stun both the average wine consumer and the professional sommelier. The idea of the International Aszú Day came from Dániel Kézdy, an avid fan and great expert of Tokaj and was first celebrated in 2017. Kézdy published a book on the wine region in 2014 with the title Tokaj – People and Vineyards and he was also the initiator and organizer of Furmint February, an annual event since 2010, and Hárslevelűk Éjszakája since 2014. It was also him, who came up with the idea of the International Furmint Day to be celebrated on the 1st of February. „You might say I am biased but I am convinced that it would be a hell of a task to refute me, so I’m not afraid to declare that Tokaj Aszú is the greatest sweet wine in the world and it deserves to be put in the limelight worldwide”, says Dániel Kézdy.
