Dry Tokaj Wines

Tokaj is most famous for its sweet wines, but the region actually produces more dry wine than sweet. In fact, 70 percent of Tokaj’s wine production is dry, and the region’s wineries depend on it for most of their cash flow. Tokaj’s vineyards were first classified in 1737, making it one of the world’s oldest classification systems. Most of the vineyards named in that classification not only still exist today, but are still considered among the region’s best. So it was only natural that wineries would start making dry wines from these single-vineyards, and that they would be amazingly delicious.
