The Late Harvest category is unofficial, and is vastly different wines are clumped together. Late Harvest is a respond to market trends and sparked off a much needed debate over the future direction of Tokaj wines. They can be anything from easy-drinking to very rich and concentrated (price is normally a good indication of what to expect); made of a single variety or as a blend; and with virtually no botrytis or with a massive amount of botrytized grapes. The common denominators are the later-than-usual harvest and the limited use of barrel ageing in order to preserve the intensity and freshness of the fruit.
