Disznoko has been home to grape vines since at least 1413, according to tax records. When Empress Maria Theresa of Austria established Europe’s first legally defined Crus in 1757, Disznoko was among them, a status it held until Soviet-era bulldozers arrived in the 1950s to erase Tokaji’s centuries-old status as Europe’s finest wine. After the collapse of the communist government in the 1990s, Hungarian winemakers returned to Tokaji to revive the region’s fortunes. Disznoko was one of the very first vineyards to come back. For most of its history, Tokaji was known as the first and greatest botrytis-infused sweet wine, but dry wine is easier to make and faster to market in a fragile recovering economy, thus was Dry Tokaji born. The Furmint grape makes great sweet wine because it has outrageous acidity; for a dry wine, that same acid makes crystalline bright notes of lemon and lime, yellow roses and basalt-driven minerality. The palate is full of nervous energy, lemon and yellow plum and green apple before a lightly salty finish. A perfect choice for chicken flavored with paprika, shellfish, or sushi.
