The legend is that this grape was brought from France to Hungary in 1375. Baron Lazare de
Schwendi, an Imperial General in the Austrian Army, whose forces captured the Hungarian
town of Tokay from Turkish invaders in 1565, discovered there wonderful wines. He brought
back vine plants to have them multiply in his Alsatian vineyards. Simply referred to as Tokay
until the 1970's, it became Tokay Pinot Gris following an agreement with the Hungarians who,
in turn, gave up the Médoc appellation. Be that as it may, the word Tokay has been abandoned
on January 1st, 2007.
