Tarcal Tokaj wine district Founded in 2002
Family winery where Loire Valley tradition meets Tokaji terroir
About the winery
Tokaj Kikelet Pince is a family winery founded in 2002 in Tarcal, blending Loire Valley winemaking tradition with Tokaji terroir. Led by Stéphanie Berecz, a French-trained winemaker engineer, and her local partner Zsolt, the estate represents a unique approach to Tokaji winemaking.
The winery cultivates seven hectares across six different vineyard parcels in Tarcal: Lónyai, Lantos, Váti, Lestár, Farkas, and Kassai. Growing Furmint and Hárslevelű grapes, they produce dry and sweet Tokaji wines, as well as sparkling wine. Their winemaking philosophy centres on respecting nature: careful vintage adaptation, separate parcel processing, spontaneous fermentation, and wooden barrel ageing characterise their practice.

Current range
Furmint, Hárslevelű
A collaborative wine from three winemakers, richly aromatic and easy-drinking. Led by pineapple, papaya, lime and exotic fruits, with caramelised sugar on the finish.
Furmint
An estate wine expressing the winery's philosophy. Fleshy pear, white flowers and apricot on the nose, followed by tropical fruits of mango and pineapple, with rich minerality.
Hárslevelű
From the high-lying Kassai vineyard on loess soil. Spontaneously fermented in barrel. White rose, white-fleshed cherry and pear on the nose. Full-bodied palate with flint and blood orange on the finish.
Furmint
A volcanic Tokaji wine with striking flinty character. Lean, vibrant palate driven by high acidity. Green apple, orange peel, with pear, peach, grapefruit and mineral character on the long finish.
Furmint, Hárslevelű
Harmonious balance of fruit, spice and herbal nuances. Chamomile, sage and delicate herbal character enhance the complexity. Long, generous palate with refreshing acidity keeping sweetness beautifully in check.
