In the heart of Tokaj: tradition, passion, family heritage
About the winery
Benkő Borház is a family winery in the heart of Tokaj, operating since 1998. The estate is built on three generations of vineyard and wine culture: Grandfather Feri and Uncle Gyula cultivated grapes even when opportunities were limited. Today, Sándor, Teri, Balázs, and Szilvi run the business with their three daughters.
They harmoniously blend tradition with future technology. Sándor tends the vines with remarkable dedication, Teri is the heart of the cellar, Balázs joined after 12 years in Budapest, and Szilvi coordinates daily operations from background work to tastings. In their charming 40-seat cellar and tasting room, they showcase the region's classic varieties: Furmint, Hárslevelű, Kövérszőlő, and Sárgamuskotály.
Grape varieties
Current range
Pale lemon colour, effervescence with quickly fading foam and large bubbles. Fruity, popular sparkling character with a hint of muscat. Round, slightly sweet, refreshing.
Celebrates the versatility and classical varieties of Tokaj wine region in an elegantly structured form. Made from 50% Furmint with vibrant, lively acidity, rounded by 8 g/l of residual sugar for a perfect, charming experience.
Dry Hárslevelű fermented and aged in used oak casks for six months on fine lees. Medium body, lively acidity, ripe fruitiness, fresh and vibrant.
Deep lemon colour, floral notes with yellow flowers, hints of mandarin and orange, then oak spices. Full palate, big body, silky texture with buttered popcorn, yellow apple and clove on the palate.
An exciting experiment with one of the region's finest varieties. Hárslevelű takes on a new, dynamic form in the world of natural sparkling wines. A meeting of tradition and playful winemaking curiosity.
Showcases a lesser-known facet of the Tokaj wine region. Kövérszőlő rarely appears as a dry varietal wine. Fermented in barrel for complexity and fine spice, then aged in tank to preserve pure, vibrant fruitiness. An extraordinarily elegant, full-bodied yet lively dry wine.
Intense spice character from the region's characteristic aromatic variety. A well-balanced wine with fine acidity and sweet Tokaj character. Recommended with Far Eastern and Thai cuisine.
Pale lemon colour. Initially restrained bouquet that gradually reveals white flowers, elderflower, lime and citrus notes, followed by apple, pear and quince. Medium body, vibrant acidity, lively fruitiness. An addictive wine for young and old alike.
A blend of Furmint and Hárslevelű following late-harvest, sweet Tokaj tradition. The characteristic acidity and aromas of both varieties meet in harmony.
Fourth generation of our late-harvest Kövérszőlő in a distinctly modern, light approach. Fermented and aged in tank, emphasizing pure, juicy fruitiness and original aromas over oak tones. A vibrant, fruit-focused sweet wine for lovers of fresh, direct style.
Tokaji Szamorodni is a classic, traditional specialty of the wine region. Made from grapes affected by natural botrytis.
Fordítás is a traditional method of Tokaji Aszú production that combines botrytis-affected grapes with fresh must.
Tokaji Aszú is one of the world's most renowned sweet wines. This vintage was made from botrytis-affected grapes, gaining additional complexity during aging.
Tokaji Aszú 6 puttonyos is a rare and distinguished wine, a sample from 24 years of aging. Made from heavily botrytis-affected grapes, it has acquired extraordinary depth and complexity over the years.
