WINEMAKING

Following a generational change in 2005, our winery, named after my grandmother, increased its areas in several steps and was intensively engaged in the production of ‘single vineyard wines’ presenting the growing site.

Using this experience over the last few years and interpreting the rapid changes in the international wine world, attention has turned to a modern blend. This blend is a drinkable, juicy wine made from Furmint and Hárslevelű, the base wine of the winery. Positioned above this, single vineyard wines from the best plots are produced in smaller series, aiming for a maximum growing site character.

As a winery active in one of the best natural sweet wine regions in the world, we also place great emphasis on Szamorodni and Aszú wines. The wines are made at two locations: the wines, the small series and the sweet wines in our own traditional cellar in Tokaj, carved into the hill and vaulted with rhyolite tuff, while the larger series in the Bodrogkisfalud community winery under László’s personal supervision.
