| Description: | Tokaj Hungary. This is thanks to the exceptional microclimate, the volcanic and post volcanic activity which created the characteristic soil, the gentle slopes with favourable aspects, and the autumn mists rising from the Bodrog and Tisza rivers. The oak trees used for the barrels also grow locally and the special mould that has colonized the walls of the cellars helps the wine mature. The end product, referred to by the French king Louis XIV as the wine of kings and the king of wines, is considered to have medicinal properties to this day. |
