History of the estate: The estate of Disznókő ( The rock of the boar ) takes its name from a large stone at the foot of the white flag overlooking the property , which looks likes a wild boar , according to the inhabitants of the area. The property is classified as Premier Cru since 1732 and belonged to several noble families in the 17th century. In the early 19th century , Menyhért Lónyay built the Yellow House , which was then the cellar of the property. This beautiful classical building now houses one of the most famous restaurants in the area. In 1992 , the property was bought by AXA Millésimes. From that time, a complete restructuring of the property started thanks to major investments. The wines of Tokaj are now enjoying with their glorious past again. Part of the vineyard was replanted with grape varieties such as Furmint and Harslevelu. A cellar for wine ageing was created in the rock near the new buildings dedicated to winemaking.
Terroir: Acclaimed as one of the three most favourable sites of Aszu in Tokaj, the Disznoko estate is a single tract of land set in 250 acres. Our south, southwest-facing slopes planted with local Furmint, Harslevelu and Zéta are open to the Plain. Morning autumn mists and warm breezes ensure optimal conditions for noble rot. The Botrytis develops, concentrating the natural sugars, flavours and acids in the grapes. Our wines gain their fire from the mineral-rich volcanic land, rhyolite-tuff with clay soils.
