It is a legend that goes back centuries and survived kings, wars, and communism. It was served for the rich and famous at lavish feasts, and its vineyards were classified before most of today’s popular wine regions were fully developed. Tokaj is a special place, but many have never been there, so I decided to take all of you to the mythical place where some of the best sweet wines in the world are made. On this trip, I had an eye-opening experience, tasting the sweetest grape juice I have ever tasted, harvesting grapes berry by berry, and talking to the people who have spent their lives perfecting this centuries-old craft. Tokaji’s history goes back to at least the 11th century and it was one of the most famous wines in the world for a period. Louis XIV called it “The king of wines, the wine of the kings”, It was demarcated as a wine growing region in 1737 as one of the first in the world, and when the Soviet Union fell Hugh Johnson, the godfather of Wine, decided to start a winery there instead of anywhere else in the world. So what makes the wines from Tokaj so special? I asked myself and in collaboration with wines of Hungary, I decided to answer that question. Tokaj is located in northeastern Hungary two and a half hours away from Budapest, the country’s capital. The vineyards cover the foothills of the Zemplen mountains and it is located where the Rivers Bodrog and Tisza meet – bringing humidity into the region and therefore creating very good conditions for the development of Botrytis, the fungus needed for producing its most famous wine. The region's climate is continental with cold winters and warm summers. The region experienced a lot of volcanic activity millions of years ago so the soils today contain a vast range of volcanic material, particularly around the town of Mád. Loess the light soil type that consists of windblown material is dominant In many other vineyards. When it comes to the grape varieties the by far most dominant one is Furmint, as it covers two-thirds of the vineyards. It is well known for its intense acidity, and it can also produce a lot of sugar in the berries. Furmint sweet wines can have a great balance between acidity and sweetness, never tasting heavy, and the dry wines a very fresh and lively. Structurally it can have some similarities with Riesling but Furmint is less aromatic and the dry wines contain more alcohol. Hárslevelű covers 19% of the vineyards and is the second most important grape. Its name means linden leafed, as its leaves have similarities to the leaves of a linden tree, and it is softer in texture and more aromatic than Furmint. The third most important grape, covering 9% of the vineyards is Sárgamuskotály, an aromatic variety otherwise known as Muscat a Petit Grains. While the region is famous for the production of its Aszu sweet wines made from botrytised berries - it produces a vast range of styles: From dry whites to sweet whites. But there are also some fascinating styles in between like Dry Szamorodni, which is made using botrytized – Aszu – Berries and healthy grapes together and aging it in a barrel – often under a Flor layer, similar to what they do in Jura for their Vin Jaune.
