Tokaj is thought to be the first vineyard region in the world to have adopted a classification system and, incredibly, the entire Diszn?k? estate was classified as a first growth property in 1772 at the time of the initial classification by royal decree. In 1992, shortly after the fall of communism in Hungary, the estate was acquired by new owners and a long series of improvements initiated: the vineyards were rehabilitated and replanted, old buildings were refurbished, and new winemaking facilities were constructed. The new winery pays homage to the nearby old winery, and inside the new winery it quickly becomes apparent how Diszn?k? has, above any other estate in the region, restored Tokaji?s reputation to the days it was considered ?the wine of kings and king of wines? (Louis XIV).
