Royal Tokaji, established in 1990, is a winery located in the village of Mád in the Tokaj wine region of Hungary, known for producing exceptional white wines using traditional methods dating back to the 17th century. The winery owns a combination of first and second-growth vineyards, including the renowned Mézes Mály, and primarily uses three grape varieties: Furmint, Hárslevelü, and Muscat de Lunel. Royal Tokaji's state-of-the-art winery, designed by Csaba Bodonyi, accommodates over 1,000 oak barrels for aging and has a stainless-steel tank capacity of 71,325 gallons. The winery produces several styles of wine, including dry, off-dry, and the iconic Tokaji Aszú, which is made by adding aszú berries affected by noble rot to a base wine, resulting in a sweet, rich, and complex wine that is aged for a minimum of three years before release.

The 2018 Royal Tokaji Mézes Mály Furmint is an elegant and refined dry white wine from one of the two Great First Growth vineyards in the Tokaj region. The vineyard's unique combination of volcanic bedrock and deep loess soil imparts a delicate floral character and finesse to the wine. The long, warm summer of 2018 allowed for early ripening and harvesting of the Furmint grapes, which were fermented and aged in Zemplén oak barrels for six months. The resulting wine is sleek and concentrated, displaying enticing aromas and flavors of white peach, apricot, and subtle spice notes. The crisp acidity provides a refreshing balance to the fruit, leading to a lingering finish. This sophisticated Furmint pairs well with a variety of cuisines, including Asian dishes, white meats, fish, and pasta.
