Királyudvar
A Filipino-American businessman from New York revolutionises Tokaj and owns a Loire legend at the same time - this story sounds too crazy to be true. The winery Királyudvar has embodied this extraordinary connection between two worlds of noble sweet wines since 1997. Anthony Hwang transformed the former purveyor to the Habsburg court into one of the most ambitious Tokaj producers using biodynamic methods and international expertise. From the bone-dry Furmint to the region's first Pezsgő and the legendary Eszencia, wines of uncompromising quality are produced here. István Szepsy and today Szabolcs Juhász characterise the winemaking on 75 hectares of top vineyards.
More about Királyudvar
The liaison between the Loire and Tokaj
Anthony Hwang's wine empire combines two icons of the sweet wine world: the Loire with its Huet Winery and Tokaj with Királyudvar. This unique constellation enables a transfer of knowledge that benefits both regions. Noël Pinguet, winemaker at Huet, accompanied the biodynamic conversion in Tokaj, while Jean-Bernard Berthomé today maintains the link between the two goods. The Tokaji Pezsgő „Henye“ Brut Nature 2018 was created directly from the inspiration of Huet's pétillant tradition - a world premiere in Tokaj.
Terroir expression at the highest level
The Grand Cru sites Lapis and Henye form the centrepiece of the 75 hectares, supplemented by Percze, Becsek, Danczka and Nyulászó. Szabolcs Juhász, winemaker in charge since 2009 and student of Tokaj legend Zoltán Demeter, interprets these exceptional terroirs using biodynamic methods. The grape variety Furmint shows its entire range - from mineral sec to the concentrated Aszú component. The Tokaji Furmint Sec 2021 demonstrates the dry side of this great grape variety with impressive clarity.
From the Aszú Renaissance to Eszencia perfection
István Szepsy, co-founder and first winemaker, laid the foundations for Királyudvar's Aszú renaissance. The 6 Puttonyo's system is realised here with scientific precision and perfect craftsmanship. The Tokaji 6 Puttonyos Aszú 2012 epitomises this philosophy to perfection. At the top of the hierarchy is the Eszencia - the legendary nectar from free-running juice of botrytis-infested berries, which requires decades of ripening.
Biodynamic pioneering work since 2008
Királyudvar has been working completely biodynamically since 2008 - a pioneering role in Tokaj. The changeover was not driven by a trend, but by the conviction that only living soils can fully express the complexity of these unique terroirs. Preparations and moon cycles determine the work in the vineyard and cellar. The result is wines of exceptional vitality and longevity that combine the historical heritage of the Königshof with contemporary winemaking.
