Dear Friends of Wine,

Tokaj Spring is the flagship event of the Confrérie de Tokaj to be held from 26th to 28th April 2013 in the heart of the Tokaj Region.

The première. The Confrérie de Tokaj is launching its very first auction. It will be conducted on the 27th April 2013 in the Castle of Sárospatak. A three-day programme of events (details follow) will accompany this exceptional auction which showcases the range produced in this white wine region. The auction will also be conducted by telephone.

La crème de la crème de Tokaj. The Confrérie de Tokaj has reserved 22 lots from some of the best producers in the region to be offered on the auction day. These are unique wines – the most noble lots of each producer – in infinitesimal quantities: 136 litres, corresponding to the capacity of the traditional Tokaj barrel, the Gönci barrel. Eszencia, the equivalent of the royal jelly of bees, will be offered as 10 litres. A panel of highly-respected and independent experts will examine the quality of these lots until their final presentation on 27th April 2013 and from then until they are bottled.

For the benefit of the Tokaj landscape. By purchasing one of these lots you will become the exclusive owner of a unique Tokaji wine and, at the same time, you will be participating in the restoration and enhancement of the viticultural landscape of Tokaj, a World Heritage Cultural Landscape since in 2002.

We hope you will be able to join us for this momentous event,

Let us raise a glass in friendship,
