REGION
Tokaj
Hungary
The Tokaj wine region is listed as a UNESCO world heritage site and
is only a 2h30 drive north-east of Budapest in Hungary.
This is the land of milk and honey for viticulture. A microclimate, a volcanic soil, and a little mushroom called botrytis, also known as “noble rot” all contribute to making Tokaj a fruitful location. The noble rot shrivels the ripe grapes, thus creating Aszú, the famous sweet wines of the region. These wines, filled to the brim with sweet and concentrated aromas, are the flagship product of Tokaj. In addition to Aszú, Furmint Dry and Tokaji Eszencia are also a must-try.
