WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Kor Selection Late Harvest is crafted by picking grapes at a later stage to maximize sugar concentration, a defining characteristic of 'Late Harvest' wines. The winemaking process focuses on carefully controlling fermentation to preserve this natural sweetness, often halting it to retain residual sugar. While specific aging details for this 2023 vintage are not detailed, the tradition in Tokaj often involves aging to develop complexity. Grand Tokaj's philosophy centers on respecting the unique terroir of the region and adhering to traditional methods to produce high-quality sweet wines.
