The Kvaszinger dynasty arrived from Prussia to Tokaj in the late 1800s. They immediately put down roots, their patriarch employed as the local baron’s
steward. In 1929, winemaker Laszlo Kvaszinger’s great-grandfather Ödön paid the baron’s gambling debts and received Hatalos vineyard as a token of his boss’
appreciation. The Kvaszingers were able to hold on to this 4 hectare property for the rest of the 20th century, through two World Wars and Hungary’s bout with Communism – and today, they are expanding the winery’s holdings under the leadership of László Kvaszinger, Jr.
