Tokaj
Tokaj (or Tokaj-Hegyalja) in northeastern Hungary is one of the world's oldest classified wine regions, with royal decree establishing vineyard classifications as early as 1730 — predating Bordeaux's 1855 system by over a century.
The region's signature wine, Tokaji Aszu, is made from botrytis-affected Furmint and Harslevelu grapes, with sweetness historically measured in puttonyos (baskets of aszu berries added to base wine).
The volcanic soils, sheltered valley microclimate, and autumn mists from the Bodrog and Tisza rivers create ideal conditions for noble rot.
