Disznókő

Disznókő takes its name from a vineyard first recorded in 1413, and from the volcanic rock at its heart that gave it the name "wild boar stone". In the Tokaj classification compiled in 1732, its principal vineyards were ranked as first growths. AXA Millésimes bought the estate in 1992, replanted it at higher density and built a new winery, and Disznókő has since been at the forefront of the renaissance of great Tokaji.

The estate lies in the warm south of the region at Mezőzombor, a single contiguous vineyard of over 100 hectares on south-facing slopes of clay over volcanic rock. Sheltered by the Zemplén Mountains and bathed in morning mists from the Great Hungarian Plain, it is ideal for noble rot. The range runs from dry Furmint through Late Harvest and Szamorodni to Aszú, made by a team led by László Mészáros.
