TR Tallya Tokaj

TR Tallya Tokaj is run by young and enthusiastic wine lovers who are committed to renewing the village of Tállya and its surroundings in the historic Tokaj wine region.

The winery's history began in 2012 when, after several trips to the village of Tállya and long walks through the vineyards, they carefully selected the desired land, called Palota Vineyard, spanning just 3.5 hectares. Since then, they have cultivated the 15 to 40-year-old vines using organic methods, obtaining organic certification in 2020/21.

The winery's aspiration is to create and maintain biodiversity in the surrounding environment. They do not use chemical agents, but only contact sprays, to build the vines' natural defense and strengthen their immune system. Their wines follow the style of the new generation of "Tokaj" vintages, complementing them with youthful vitality and less use of barrels. Located on volcanic soil, the Palota vineyard boasts perfect minerality, and its location ensures an excellent balance between acidity and sweetness. Furthermore, Tokaj focuses on natural sweetness, which they proudly showcase in their sweet wines: Edés, Szamorodni, and Aszú. The winery strives for the highest quality and focuses on production methods that allow the wine to fully express the characteristics of the grape and its terroir.

Region

The Tokaj wine region, at the foot of the Zemplén Mountains in Northeast Hungary, is considered the most important wine region in the country. This is where the noble Tokaj Aszú wine is produced, described by Louis XIV as "The king of wines, and the wine of kings."

The history of winemaking in Tokaj dates back to the 12th century, and the region is one of the first with a classification system for viticulture, introduced here in 1730.

The long history of winemaking, indigenous grape varieties, unique wines, and UNESCO-protected cultural landscapes make Tokaj one of the most significant places in Hungary.

Climate and soils

In addition to the Zemplén Mountains, the vineyards in Tokaj are protected by the Carpathians, which provides them with a relatively warm continental climate. The soils in Tokaj are a mixture of volcanic loess and clay. The Tokaj vineyards extend over 27 villages, covering an area of 5967 hectares. The best vineyards are on the southern slopes, where they are protected from northern winds. The first classification of vineyards in Tokaj was introduced in the mid-17th century by the Rákóczi family, who divided the vineyards into 1st, 2nd, and 3rd class (or cru) according to quality. Each of the 27 villages of Tokaj offers unique conditions and identity for the wines produced.

Wine

The most famous Tokaj wine is Tokaji Aszú. This is a classic sweet wine, characterized by a combination of sweetness, acidity, and a fruity apricot aroma. The main ingredient in the production of Tokaji Aszú is Furmint – grape juice with high acidity. Aszú grapes are hand-picked and collected in containers called "puttony", which contain about 25 kg of grapes.

The grapes are then crushed into a mash and mixed with a ready-made base wine, made from non-aszú grapes.

The wine is aged for 18 months in barrels. It must contain 120 g/L of sugar and have an alcohol content of at least 9%. The "Szamorodni" wine is also produced from a blend of ripe or very ripe grapes from both "aszú" and "non-aszú" varieties. The dry type of this wine is known as Száraz, and the sweet type as Édes. The Édes style is aged in oak barrels for two or three years. The most luxurious Tokaj wine is Tokaj Eszencia.

This wine is also known as "Legfőbb Fő", meaning "the most exquisite wine". It is rich in sugar, which makes it extremely sweet, and is characterized by velvety aromas and notes of peach and honey.
