Tokaj is the place, Tokaji is the wine of that place. The local grape variety is Furmint and though you`ll see dry wines made from this it is the botrytis affected whites that are the renowned style. Here the key word to look for on the label is Puttonyos, with 5 or 6 in front of it. Although wines like Sauternes are also made with selected botrytis affected fruit, in Tokaj the rotten fruit is measured in baskets (Puttonyos) and the number of baskets – up to 6 – added to each hundred litres of normal juice determines the quality.
