Incredible Disznoko Video

December 22nd, 2011

This French wine site’s videos are incredibly well done.  Even if you don’t speak French, there are spectacular images here of the Disznoko vineyards and winery.  And if you do speak French, Laszlo (both the winemaker and manager at the estate) gives wonderful insight into the history of the region, and what makes Disznoko – a single, contiguous site classified “Grand Cru” in 1772 – such a special estate.

A few highlights:

  • Laszlo notes that harvesting grapes for Tokaji is likely the single most labor-intensive harvest for any wine in the world
  • They take free run Eszencia from tank in the vineyard, pretty amazing to see
  • Near the end, you see the interior of the spectacular winery and cellars
