The exceptional Tokaj vineyard covers 5 000 hectares that are located around the little village of Tokaj in the east of Hungary.

In the heart of this legendary vineyard, Château Dereszla has a rich diversity of terroirs situated in the classified great growths area.

The very beautiful and historical cellars, dug inside the rock were renovated in 2003. The wines can therefore develop in the traditional way with ideal temperature and hygrometric conditions.

The property is managed by an enthusiastic Hungarian team  with a long-established expertise sharing the same philosophy for wine dedication : perfection, conviviality and pleasure.

The white grape varieties Furmint, Harshlevelü and Muscat produce dry and lively wines. However when climatic conditions are joined the wind dries up the grapes and the botrytis coats them with its white veil.  It is the Aszu grapes that gave their name to the high-class wine of Tokaj.  

These Aszu berries concentrate the aromas of dry fruit, honey and sometimes citrus fruit or banana that give the exceptionnel character to the Tokaj wine.

Tradition wants these grapes to be hand-picked one by one and transported in small crates: the puttonyos.

Following the quality of the harvest and the more or less important presence of raisining and botrytis, one will vinify different wines: the great sweet wines, the dries, semi sweet, late harvest etc.....
