Királyudvar
Those who think of Tokaji may first have images of the Habsburg court in mind and stories of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. Hardly any other wine is as closely associated with the royal courts and their prestige as Tokaji. Accordingly, the noble sweet wines have always been "the wine of kings and the king of wines", as Louis XIV is said to have described it. One of the houses that supplied the Hungarian court with wines very early on is Királyudvar, which means "the court of kings". In the golden age of Tokaji from the 16th to the 18th century, Királyudvar's Tokaji Aszú were among the most famous in the world.
Wine information
100 % Muskotály . Selection from the Danczka vineyard. After spontaneous fermentation, the wine is aged for seven months in used 225-litre Hungarian oak barrels.
Color
Lemon yellow with silver reflections
Nose
Cuvée Patricia opens with a bright, floral and wonderfully intense scent of lime blossom, nutmeg, orange blossom, lemon, Williams Christ pears and a hint of baked fruit. Although everything seems light and floaty, there is a connection to the soil, rocks, fresh sage and mint.
Palate
On the palate, too, the noble sweet Muscat shows itself wonderfully cool, fresh and bright with a piquant, mineral acidity and a whole basket full of yellow fruits. Apple, pear, but above all lemons and grapefruit and a piece of bitter orange are accompanied by herbs, a breath of blossom honey and a slightly tart, again refreshing note. Tokaji can be so dancing, so floatingly light and yet intense.
