**Tokaj** ... — a historic wine region in northeastern Hungary, extending slightly into Slovakia, and one of the world's most celebrated sources of sweet wine. Its name is attached to the legendary Tokaji Aszú. **Wines & grapes** — The signature style is Tokaji Aszú, made from grapes shrivelled by noble rot (botrytis) and measured historically in puttonyos of sweetness. Furmint is the leading grape, joined by Hárslevelű, Sárgamuskotály (Yellow Muscat) and others; the region also makes late-harvest Szamorodni and, increasingly, crisp dry whites from Furmint. **Character** — Volcanic soils, the meeting of the Bodrog and Tisza rivers, and autumn mists create ideal conditions for botrytis. The sweet wines are famous for their honeyed apricot and marmalade richness balanced by piercing acidity, giving them remarkable longevity. **Good to know** — Tokaji was prized at European royal courts and is sometimes called the "wine of kings."
