Grand Tokaj
Grand Tokaj is the largest winery in the historic Tokaj-Hegyalja wine region, bearing the title of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the guardian of Hungarian national winemaking tradition. The company is the flagship of wine production in the region, possessing a total of 66 hectares of vineyards, about 35% of the regions’s area.
Modernisation has also benefited the winery’s vine cultivation branch. Between 2013 and 2015, a survey of cultivating potential and the condition of existing vineyards was carried out, a geographic information system (GIS) has been created to support decision-making, permitting grape procurement at the winery to be modelled and planned ahead.
Grand Tokaj’s wines are made under the supervision of Károly Áts, chief oenologist of the company since 2013, and winner of the title “Winemaker of the Year” in 2012 who are famed for his 100 points Essencia. Grand Tokaj has become a key player in the markets not only on a national, but also a global level.
