Tokaji 5 Putts Chateau Pajzos HL, 50cl
Quick Overview
The Tokaji wine region is in the north east of Hungary, towards the borders of
Slovakia and Ukraine. The region is centred around the confluence of the Tisza
and Bodrog rivers, with the vineyards planted on the south and southwest
slopes above. The rising mists from the rivers in autumn encourage the onset of
`noble rot` in the grapes, producing one of the great and most distinct sweet
wines of the world.
Chateau Pajzos is one of the great producers in Tokaj, Hungary. The estate
was classified as a `First Growth` in 1772 and its sweet wines have been
enjoyed by Monarchs and Emperors for centuries, Louis XV of France famously
called Tokaji `Wine of Kings, King of Wines`. In 1991, the Pajzos estate was
bought by Jean-Louis Laborde who also owns the famous Chateau Clinet in
Pomerol, Bordeaux.
