Tokay is probably Hungary's oldest wine district. White wines are produced almost exclusively. The most important vines are the Furmint, the Hárslevelú, and the yellow Muscat.
Though Tokaj-Hegyalja is similar to Mátraalja climatically and geologically, the wines are very different because of the methods of production.
The vintners of the Tokaj-Hegyalja region have switched from oxidative cultivation to reductive cultivation with their combination to the "Tokaj Renaissance", and some truly excellent dry, aromatic quality wines have been made.
The most important vines are Furmint, the Hárslevelú, and the yellow Muscat.
