Set on the south-facing slopes of Tokaj town in the heart of the Tokaj Wine Region, the 55-hectare Tokaj-Hétszőlő estate is known worldwide for its unique wines and rich history. The history of the Hétszőlő vineyard began in 1502 when the Garai family assembled seven vineyards (hét=seven, szőlő=vineyard). In 2009 the estate found a new owner in Michel Reybier who saw and found the unparalleled value and tradition that place Tokaj-Hétszőlő deservedly into the prestigious group of estates of Grand Cru Classé Cos d’Estournel (Saint-Estèphe, Bordeaux), Chateau Marbuzet and Goulée estates (Médoc, Bordeaux).
The overwhelming majority of the estate vineyards were classified as First Growth vineyards in 1772 classification of Tokaj: Hétszőlő and Nagyszőlő. The loose-structured loess typical of the Tokaj Hill thickly covers the volcanic bedrock.
