Domaine Tokaj-Hetszölö

TheTokaj-Hetszölö estate is ideally situated in a wine-growing region dating back to the 15th century, on the southern slope of Mount Tokaj. Since 1722, this 55-hectare estate, which belonged to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, has been classified as a Premier Grand Cru Classé, thanks in particular to the vineyard’s location on an exceptional terroir: volcanic rock soil, a south-facing exposure benefiting from optimal sunlight, and proximity to the Tisza and Bodrog rivers, which foster the mists necessary for the formation of Botrytis cinerea, known as "noble rot," essential for the production of Tokaj’s famous sweet wines. Particular care is taken in the production of Tokaj-Hétszölö wines, with hand-harvesting, organic farming (certified in 2009), and barrels crafted in the region using traditional methods from the finest oak from the Zemplén Mountains.
