About Tokaj

Tokaj wines reveal far more than Hungary’s famous sweet Aszú. Begin with dry Furmint or fragrant Hárslevelű, then explore late-harvest wines and Szamorodni, which can be dry or sweet. Aszú gains its intensity from individually selected berries affected by noble rot; rare Eszencia comes from the juice they release under their own weight. These are different wine types, rather than interchangeable names for sweetness. Six permitted grape varieties give growers several routes through the region’s traditions. Read the complete wine name and sweetness information to discover Tokaj’s range, from lively, food-friendly whites to beautifully concentrated sweet wines.
