Wine notes:

This special single-vineyard Aszú showcases Királyudvar's most expressive terroir. Wet stone in the nose, a muscular structure and steely minerality in the finish reflect the signature Lapis character. A firm, profound Aszú that asks for a bit of attention and patience, the wine's intensity and impeccable botrytis assure that everyone is rewarded from the first sip. In terms of design, this wine emphasizes architectural triumph over lighting, decoration or glamorous surfaces.

"Like orange and apricot slowly caramelized in butter; honey rich, elegant and beautifully balanced." - Eric Asimov, Food & Wine Editor - NY Times  ("Hungary Returns to a Sweet Past")
