Magyar borászok, borászatok

The Royal Tokaji Wine Company, founded in Hungary in 1990, has become one of the most defining wineries in Tokaj. From the outset, Royal Tokaji decided to concentrate on producing single-vineyard wines, made from the first growth vineyards of Mezes Maly, Nyulaszo, Szt Tamas and Betsek.
Acknowledged as one of the region's top winemakers, Karoly Ats, combines traditional techniques with modern technology to create the award-winning Royal Tokaji range of wines. Royal Tokaji is the acknowledged leader of the renaissance of this legendary Hungarian wine, which, in the words of the wine author and company co-founder Hugh Johnson, is "a wine that would make angels sing out loud in praise".

Royal Tokaji was the first foreign company to invest in the Tokaji wine region. This pioneering leap of faith prompted the Hungarian Government to privatise other state owned vineyards and sell them to other foreign investors, mainly French insurance companies.

Thus started the rebirth of this once famed region, evolving from one state winery production and label to some twenty private winery producers and wines today. Royal Tokaji is in a unique position to offer a portfolio which extends from the indigenous dry white Furmint, its late harvest Ats Cuvee, through its 5 & 6 puttonyos blends, its single vineyard 1st growth or Grand Cru wines Betsek, Nyulaszo, St Tamas & Mezes Maly, through to the famed Aszu Essencia wines to the legendary Essencia.
