About the winery
Várhegyi Borászat produces wines from vineyards located in Erdőbénye and throughout the Tokaj Hegyalja region, owned by the family. The winery's concept centres on respecting tradition while embracing modern techniques. Their goal is to create quality wines that reflect the beauty of Erdőbénye and the distinctive character of its vineyard sites.
Production focuses on grape varieties characteristic of Hegyalja: Furmint, Hárslevelű and Sárgamuskotály, as well as blends of these. Their current range consists of dry wines, though plans include traditional Szamorodni and Aszú styles. The cellar is carved from rhyolite tuff and is planned to become a tasting room and hospitality venue in future.

Furmint
A pleasantly acidic and characterful white wine fermented in steel tanks. Fresh, ripe fruit aromas with the mineral expression typical of Furmint. Balanced and rounded on the palate.
Hárslevelű
A delicate white wine characterised by pleasant, soft floral aromas. The acidity is gentle and elegant. The reductive winemaking process brings out pronounced fruit character in both nose and palate.
Sárgamuskotály
A full-bodied wine with rich, rounded flavour marked by mature fruit character. Soft acidity and high residual sugar combined with elegant Muscat aromas create a harmonious and captivating wine.
Produced from late October harvest in Palásti vineyard at an exceptional 27.0 Brix. This blend unites the acidity and minerality of Furmint with the fruitiness of Sárgamuskotály. Brief oak ageing brings harmony and roundness. Notes of noble rot and elegant definition characterise this wine.
