Disznókő

Tokaj is thought to be the first wine region in the world to have adopted a classification system and the entire Disznókő estate was classified as a first growth property in 1772 at the time of the initial classification. In 1992, shortly after the fall of communism, the estate was acquired by Axa Millesimes and a long series of improvements initiated. Disznókő spreads over 250 acres at the south-west entrance of the Tokaj region. The estate is essentially a hill of volcanic clay soil with perlite pebbles: at the top of the hill is the boar-shaped rock from which the estate takes its name.
