Making Wine Since
1875
Zoltán Tóth's family winery.
The meeting of the climate and the excellent nature of the farmland can be considered a huge coincidence. The "King of Wines" was born as a result of the lucky environmental factors and the expertise and centuries of work of diligent grape growers and cellar masters who kept secrets passed down from father to son.
In this historic wine region, where documents prove that in the middle of the 1st century CE, the Celts were already cultivating grapes in the Hegyalja region, the conquering Hungarians in the 9th century. In the 19th century, flourishing vineyards were found on the slopes of Tokaj-Hegyalja. The excellent grape-growing soil is andesite and rhyolite of volcanic origin, the wines produced on these soils are juicy and have a delicate aroma. The region's typical microclimate, hot, dry summers, September rainfall, and the high humidity caused by the Bodrog River greatly promote the development of noble rot on the grains that are still on the stem, and then the long, sunny autumn puts on the crown and ripens the aszu grain.
The well-deserved world-famous Tokaji Aszú - the "King of Wines" - was created thanks to wine-making processes developed over centuries. According to records, the first Aszú wine was given to the mistress of Sárospatak Castle, Lorántffy Zsuzsanna The well-deserved world-famous Tokaji Aszú - the "King of Wines" - was created thanks to wine-making processes developed over centuries. According to records, the first Aszú wine was given to the mistress of Sárospatak Castle, megtisztelő „vínum régum, réx vinórum” titulust.
Zoltán Tóth's family winery produces excellent Tokaj wines in this famous region. The family began growing grapes in the 20th century, started at the beginning of the 20th century, and passed on from father to son the noble task of ensuring that the Tokaji produced by them satisfies all needs and tastes and wins the favor of consumers. The winery currently grows traditional grape varieties, such as linden, furmint, and yellow muscat, on an area of 32 hectares. The process of growing, processing, maturing and bottling the wines is done by himself.
Tokaji wines owe their unique properties to several circumstances. For the optimal climate, the very favorable soil, and the grape varieties. However, particularly important are the CELLARS, which were cut narrowly and low in rhyolite and tuff in large numbers, sometimes crossing several floors, weaving through and through the vine-growing mountains, up to a depth of 10-30 meters.
These cellars used to serve as a shelter during the Tatar invasion and Turkish occupation.
Almost every family in Hegyalja had such a hiding place, where they hid their valuables and often their lives. Later, using the branches of the cellar, the barrel-making masters of Gönci made small-sized barrels, which could be easily stored in these narrow cellars, and then they gave the basic size of Tokaji Aszú wine to 136 liters.
If you visit these cellars, you immediately notice the thick, black coating on the walls, which is formed by a mold fungus. This cellar mold, Cladosporium cellare, provides a special microclimate that determines the unique, incomparable taste of ripe Tokaji.
The constant temperature of the cellars is 8-12C, relative humidity 78-98%
