To produce a single magnum of the sweet, syrupy Essencia that Hungarian winemaker Royal Tokaji is now marketing for €35,000 a pop can require more than 400 pounds of grapes, not to mention a lengthy maturation. Each grape...

From Mythic Origins to Modern Allure, Hungary’s Royal Tokaji Wines
From Mythic Origins to Modern Allure, Hungary’s Royal Tokaji Wines
"Two hours east of Budapest, where the Great Hungarian Plain meets the Zemplén mountains (a precursor to the Carpathians), furmint and yellow muscat grapes grow from volcanic soil in well-attended rows. After fog collects, but before the sun burns it all way, a “noble rot” takes over the fruit—and something rather special is born. This is Hungary’s Tokaji wine region and the nectar produced is one of exceptional merit—and centuries of lore. It’s referenced everywhere from the Hungarian National Anthem to Bram Stoker’s Dracula and even an episode of Mad Men. But despite its origins predating 1571, it’s a relatively small player in today’s global wine...

The Dry Side of Furmint
The Dry Side of Furmint
"If you’ve heard of Furmint, a Hungarian white grape, you probably know that it’s one of the primary varieties used in sweet Tokaji Aszú wine. What you might not know is that it’s also being used by young winemakers in Hungary to make dry, crisp white wines that are attracting global notice."Furmint’s origin is firmly planted in Hungary’s Tokaj region.
