What it pairs with

  • Peach tart with vanilla custard
    The wine's fresh stone-fruit sweetness pairs with the soft peach and creamy filling.
  • Soft brie with quince jam
    Late-harvest acidity and sweetness complement the mild cheese and quince.
  • Light fruit pudding
    The wine's moderate sweetness and fresh acidity match a lighter dessert without overwhelming.

History

Késői Szüret (late harvest) is produced by leaving grapes on the vine beyond normal harvest, allowing concentration through raisin-like dehydration and partial botrytis. It represents a lighter and more accessible sweet category than Aszú, making it a good introduction to Tokaj's sweet-wine range.
