Hungary has a long tradition as a wine producing country.
Winemaking has evolved over many centuries. Today, the most famous Hungarian
wines come from Tokaj, the luscious, sweet, white Tokaji made from botrytised
grapes. But red and white wine is made all over the country, for example in Eger
and Villany.
Château Dereszla is a property that is
undergoing substantial renovations following its acquisition recently by a
French group (linked to Edonia (previously GAM Audy) in Bordeaux).

Also underground
enormous
investments are made in renovating the old cellar. The walls are
completely stripped, new floor is laid, new electricity,... It will take
some time to fill this up with wine |

You can still see the naked rock and
new wiring. Soon it will all be covered in mould |
