Hungary’s most famous wine is undoubtedly Tokaji, a sweet white wine made from the Furmint grape in the Tokaj-Hegyalja region. Known for its rich honeyed flavours, high acidity, and complex aromas, Tokaji is a wine that has been treasured for centuries. Its “Aszú” style, made from grapes affected by noble rot, offers a luxurious, sweet, and full-bodied experience, perfect for pairing with dessert or enjoying as a sipping wine.
However, Hungarian wine is not just about Tokaji. The country is home to a variety of regions producing remarkable wines across all styles. For red wine lovers, the Villány region is known for its robust, full-bodied wines made from international varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, while native varieties like Kadarka are perfect for those seeking lighter, fruitier reds. Hungary’s diverse climate and soils offer something for everyone, from refreshing whites to complex reds and sweet wines that offer an unforgettable experience.
