Tokaj-Hetszolo

Tokaj-Hetszolo is a renowned winery located in the Tokaj wine region of Hungary. The winery has a long history, dating back to the 16th century when it was owned by the Habsburg family. Today, it is owned by Vega Sicilia, one of Spain's most prestigious wineries.

Tokaj-Hetszolo is known for its production of sweet wines made from the Furmint grape, which is native to the region. The winery is located on the slopes of the Zemplen Mountains, where the climate and soil are ideal for growing grapes that are rich in flavor and acidity.

The Tokaj-Hetszolo sweet wines are known as Tokaji Aszu, which is made using a unique method called "noble rot". In this method, the grapes are left on the vine to develop a fungus called Botrytis cinerea, which causes the grapes to shrivel and concentrate their sugars. The grapes are then hand-picked and crushed to make a sweet, viscous wine.

Tokaj-Hetszolo also produces dry white wines made from Furmint and Harslevelu grapes, which are known for their bright acidity and mineral notes. The winery uses traditional winemaking methods, such as barrel fermentation and aging, to produce wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Tokaj region.

Some of the most famous Tokaj-Hetszolo wines include the Tokaji Aszu 6 Puttonyos, which has a rich, honeyed flavor with notes of apricot and orange peel, and the Tokaj Furmint Dry, which is crisp and refreshing with notes of green apple and lime. These wines have received numerous awards and accolades from wine critics around the world, and they are considered to be some of Hungary's finest wines.
