Totally Tokay

16-06-2006

Hungary’s Tokay comes from the Tokay variety. Alsace Tokay is made from 100% Pinot Gris. We’re not sure why it’s called Tokay. By the way, the tokay grape is better known (in Hungary) as Furmint. In fact, according to recent research, Furmint and Altesse (a Bugey variety) are extremely similar. What about Tokay du Bugey? But elsewhere, you can’t call it Tokay d'Alsace anymore; the European Union says so.
