Hungary

Although Hungary produces a wide variety of wines from international
grape varieties, merlot & Chardonnay, and many home grown ones, such
as Furmint & Leanyka. It’s the world class dessert wine, Tokaji that
Hungary is most famous. That and Bull’s Blood! Without going into too much detail the higher the number of ‘Puttonyos’ the sweeter and more unctuous the wine. The Crown Estate’s 5 Puttonyos we are currently listing is a sensational example of the Hungarian winemaker’s art. |  |
| Crown Estates Tokaji is the great Hungarian sweet wine made from Botrytised grapes. Prized by the nation and kept under armed guard. Golden in colour with fragrant honey and apricots on the nose. | |
