Kiralyudvar, the “King's Court”, is crafted on the grounds of the original 16th-century royal manor. This is a dry, full-bodied wine from estate-grown grapes. The Tokaj region is famous for its ancient volcanic soils of clay and rhyolite. Tokaj was once one of the world’s most prestigious wine regions; its top Aszú and Esszencia dessert wines were among the world’s most coveted and expensive. Yet two world wars devastated Tokaji’s traditional European markets, and the decline continued under Communist rule. The estate, since 1999, has been revitalized by owner Filipino-born New Yorker Anthony Hwang and winemaker Szabolcs Juhasz.
