“I have long been a fan of Tokaji wines. There is such amazing harmony between the God-given land and the vineyards shaped by humans. The wonderful cellars are the works of great and knowledgeable masters who are able to create such beautiful treasures. I am honoured to be able to sing here now. At festive and celebratory occasions the nectar of Tokaj is always my companion. István Szepsy’s Tokaji 6 puttonyos Asző balmed and gilded the recording of my album Sacred Voice in the Szent István Basilica crypt.”
