Introduction

AM-Tokaj, an ultra-premium Hungarian heirloom winery specializing in limited production Tokaj-style blends, is emerging as one of the most interesting artisan wine-makers not just for its divine sweet aszús, but also for its unusual blend of distinctive and innovative elegant dry whites. Their few but highly satisfying bottles, a number that is small because this boutique vineyard is situated in one of the most prestigious albeit pocket-sized historical deluxe appellations, the sun-kissed south-facing Teleki slope – once owned by the Hungarian royalty – in the heart of Tokaj with restricted acres and finite grape-vines, have spurred international fascination. Serving Michelin-star restaurants and luxury hotels, AM-Tokaj caters to establishments and individuals that care about the best quality wines. The European Union has recognized these noble wines as traditional Hungarian specialty (Hungaricum), and so their production is restricted to the country and is limited in amount.
