Exclusive barrel lots of contemporary Tokaji wines from a wide range of wines from terroirs from across the region go under the hammer in the Knights’ Hall of Sárospatak castle on 25th April 2015. Bidders keen to procure their limited-release Tokaji wine at the Confrérie de Tokaj’s third Great Tokaj Wine Auction on 25th April brought a final hammer price of € 100 415, continuing the upwards trend of the first two auctions.

Increased competition for lots was again evident this year and, as in previous auctions, bidders hailed from Hungary and abroad (40 % of lots sold outside Hungary). Meanwhile the growing number of buyers’ groups allows a wider audience the chance to obtain an exclusive lot, and thus those who prefer to be the owner of a small quantity of these wines are able to enjoy the wines previously snapped up by larger buyers which include individuals, top restaurants and wine merchants/importers.
