Erdőbénye Tokaj wine district Founded in 2000
Tokaji naturally – minimal intervention, volcanic minerality
About the winery
A family-owned winery established in 2000 in the heart of Erdőbénye, housed in a historic vintner's house. Szilvia Karádi and Zsolt Berger cultivate vineyards across three hectares in the Palandor and Narancsi vineyard parcels, using organic methods since 2017. Winemaking emphasizes spontaneous fermentation, avoiding commercial yeasts and enzymes, using only natural fining agents, and maintaining low sulfur dioxide levels.
Wines from the volcanic soil are characteristically mineral-driven. Palandor wines display pear and quince flavours, while Narancsi furmints show citrus notes and saline minerality. The winery's authentic cellars are situated below two elegant apartments available for guest accommodation.
