Tűzkő Birtok: Why the Tolna Wine Region Deserves More Attention
Discover why the Gál Tibor Winery has become one of Eger’s defining estates. From volcanic soils and a 140 km cellar system carved into tufa to precise Bikavér and Kékfrankos shaped by some of the region’s best vineyards, this visit uncovers the depth behind Hungary’s most quietly ambitious wine region.

Twenty years ago, two brothers from Sweden fell in love with the volcanic hills of Lake Balaton — and decided to build something extraordinary.

Tokaj PDO. All 27 villages (one of the labels is hidden). The main vineyards of the PDO too. Though there are other vineyards in the region that are most likely for other wines. I’m now on the hunt for the top vineyards as far as the exam is concerned. Between two sites I have about 18 or so. That’s probably enough. Just need to find out what all of their original classifications and locations are. Not that we’ll get asked anything other than maybe the 2 great first growths. And even then, it’s taken me almost two full days of searching the internet just to get what info I do have. Like there’s literally no full list from the original classification. And there were anywhere from 175-300 vineyards. The official Tokaj PDO document does have a list I can use, but the classification system isn’t actually a legal thing. Just a historical one right now. So there’s no current ranking. #hungary #hungarianwine #wine #sommlife #lifewithmark #sommschooladvanced #questforthegreenpin #ssa (at Tokaj wine region) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZvIDfMr94r/?utm_medium=tumblr
