Product Notes

Sauska Cuvée 5 wine is a prized blend, meticulously produced in the famed Tokaj region of Hungary. This striking concoction embodies eloquence of five grape varieties, each asserting a unique charm. It seduces your palate with rich, multi-layered flavours; offering ripe blackberry, plum, hints of cedar, and a touch of spice. Divine balance of acidity and mature tannins imply longevity worth aging. Its lush full-bodied texture, coupled with a lingering velveteen finish, makes it an exquisite tipple. A superior choice for discerning wine connoisseurs, Sauska Cuvée 5 evoke a sensational symphony of complexity, sophistication, and sheer pleasure.

Tasting Notes

Cool, tart breeze of forest fruits dominate the aromas, followed by a broad and deep first impression on the palate with blueberries, gooseberries and juniper berries. Further layers of fine oak, dark chocolate, velvety tannins and nutmeg complete the mouth feel before the orange peel-dominated, beautifully long and silky finish.
