Tokaj’s unique position in Europe rivals that of Bordeaux in France or Chianti in Italy. The wine that’s grown on both sides of the border between Slovakia and Hungary is majestic, timeless, and unlike any other. Its birthplace is closely linked to the core of Mother Earth. Southeastern slopes of Zemplín hills are a remnant of the Earth’s turbulent volcanic past. Beautiful autumn wraps local vineyards in foggy mists coupled with plentiful autumn sunshine. These conditions enable grapes to become “nobly rotten“ (Botrytis cinerea), producing a small, not annually guaranteed, raisin miracle of nature. The time-tested varietal trio of Tokaj wines Furmint, Lipovina, and Muškát žltý, coupled with the slow oxidation technology in wooden barrels give birth to a mythical wine that continues to enchant wine lovers over and over again.
