Tokaj-Hegyalja (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Tokaj-Hegyalja is a historical wine region located in northeastern Hungary. Hegyalja means "foothills" in Hungarian, and this was the original name of the region. The region consists of 28 named villages and 7,000 hectares of classified vineyards, of which an estimated 5,000 are currently planted. Tokaj has been declared a World Heritage Site. However, its fame long predated this distinction because it is the origin of Tokaji aszu wine, the world's oldest botrytized wine.
