About the winery

Paulay Borház operates in the heart of Tokaj, near the roundabout before the Tisza Bridge. Across three vineyard parcels – Baksa alja, Melegoldal, and Verebes – the winery cultivates approximately 2 hectares featuring grape varieties, some dating back to pre-phylloxera times. The cellar's signature offerings include the "Joszif" Hárslevelű orange wine and richly sweet Tokaji Aszús for lovers of full-bodied wines. The winery offers guest accommodation on its top floor, comprising three double rooms and a two-room, four-person apartment.

Beyond Tokaji Aszú and Szamorodni, the Paulay family produces dry white wines, often blending interesting grape varieties. Fermentation and aging typically follow classical methods, frequently conducted in oak barrels. Their wines pair well with dishes such as forest mushroom-based recipes and refined food combinations.
