The region of Tokaji is the great homeland of Hungarian wine, with a reputation for some of the world's finest wines dating back more than 400 years. That reputation was built largely on sweet, botrytised wines - and it was a reputation almost entirely eroded by years of Soviet rule. Since the collapse of the Iron Curtain in the 1990s, there has been renewed investment and interest in the old vineyards of this region, and the luscious dessert wines have regained their international acclaim. The late-ripening, sharp-tasting Furmint grape accounts for roughly 70% of the plantings, with Hárslevelű making up about 25%. Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains (known locally as Sárgamuskotály) makes up the rest. In the wake of the re-establishment of fine, sweet wine production comes a smaller but equally compelling movement towards excellent dry wines made from these old vines. Attila Homonna, who came to CellarHand's attention thanks to Roland Velich of Moric, is one of the leaders of this latter renaissance.
