DISZNÓKO, Hungary

Once owned by influential aristocratic families and then nationalised, the estate has been under the ownership of AXA Millésimes since 2002. With its expertise and experience in Aszú winemaking, Disznókő is recognized today as being in the forefront of the renaissance of these truly great Tokaji wines.

Viticulture

Disznókő is one of the only estates in the Tokaj wine region to be one single tract of land. 112 hectares (277 acres) of vines set in around 150 hectares (370 acres) in the municipality of Mezőzombor, inside the regional appellation Mád - Mezőzombor. Moreover, this is one of the few Tokaj wineries set in its vineyard. And every Disznókő wine comes from this vineyard.
