  • About
Rarity made by refermenting new wine or must poured on Tokaj Aszú lees. Sweet wines, typically with 50–90 g/l sugar. No longer an official category.
The Mádi Kör, the local wine authority, has drawn up a rather Burgundian vineyard classification which means in practice that the member wineries are obliged to follow stricter regulations in vine-growing and winemaking than are required by general Hungarian rules.

The most highly regarded producers include István Szepsy, Tokaj Hétszőlő (owned by the Michel Reybier of Ch Cos d’Estournel), Holdvölgy, Tokaj Oremus (owned by vega sicilia), Disznókő (owned by axa), Királyudvar, István Balassa, Zoltán Demeter, Judit Bott, Barta Pince, DemeterVin, and the Royal Tokaji Wine Company. Wine writer Hugh johnson and other private investors set up the Royal Tokaji Wine Company in 1989 and the early 1990s saw an unusually cosmopolitan range of investors dedicated to restoring the image of this noble wine.
