Hungary

**Hungary** is one of Central Europe's great wine nations, with a proud tradition anchored by Tokaji, one of the world's most celebrated sweet wines. It offers a broad and often underrated range across sweet, dry white and red styles, built on a deep bench of native grapes. **Signature wines** — Sweet Tokaji Aszú, made from botrytis-affected (nobly rotted) grapes led by Furmint and Hárslevelű, is the crown jewel; increasingly, dry Furmint shows the same terroir in a different guise. Robust reds come from Kékfrankos (Blaufränkisch) and the blended Bull's Blood. **Key regions** — Tokaj in the northeast is the historic sweet-wine heartland; Eger and Villány are known for reds; Somló and Badacsony produce distinctive volcanic-soil whites. **Good to know** — Tokaji was cherished by European royal courts and was one of the first wine regions in the world to be classified, well before Bordeaux's famous ranking, marking Hungary as a pioneer of appellation thinking.
