The Tokaj wine region in the north-east of Hungary is one of the world′s most prestigious wine regions, with a history dating back to the 13th century, the first officially classified wine region in Hungarian history (1737) and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Known for its unique terroir and exceptional wine culture, the wines made here were described by King Louis XIV of France as "the wine of kings, the king of wines".
Located in the historic village of the
birthplace of aszú wine, the cellar dates back to the early 14th century.
Continuous expansion has made it one of the largest ageing cellars in the Tokaj
wine region, with an impressive storage capacity of 6,000 hectolitres. The
three-storey cellar system stretches for over 2 kilometres and has three
entrances. The cellar has hundreds of wooden barrels of various roasting
levels.
In addition, the winery is equipped with
state-of-the-art winemaking and bottling technology and 1,210 hectolitres of
stainless steel ageing and blending tanks of various sizes, ensuring the
highest level of precision and quality throughout the entire production
process, complemented by state-of-the-art logistics machinery, ensuring smooth
wine handling and transport of barrels and bottled wines between the different
cellar levels. All the machinery is brand new technology and purchases.
The building above the winery is 1080 m² on
three levels, with the stainless steel tank ageing room and the bottling area
below ground level, the grape processing area on the ground floor, the bottling
and maceration area, all equipped with new machinery, also on the ground floor.
The wine room, office, restrooms and staff showers are located in the same
area. Upstairs are six well-equipped apartments of a high standard.
The construction of the wine processing plant,
the vinotheque, offices, apartments and, above all, the modernisation of the
underground cellar, started at the end of 2019 and were completed in spring of
2024, including major mining works. An inventory of the complete machinery and
technical specifications of the works are available for those interested.
The winery has no vineyards of its own, the
purchase of quality grapes is possible, but if the new owner is interested in
purchasing a vineyard, we will be happy to help you acquire land near the
winery.
