Vineyard

Our 40 ha vineyard lies in the Eger historical wine region. We set up our wine cellar in Egerszalók at the side of Öreghegy. The climate and the soil of our sites allow us to create unique wine characteristics.

When choosing a grape variety, we aim to follow the Eger wine tradition. Terroir is central to our wine-making philosophy. Our main goal is to utilize the possibilities of the vineyard with the help of traditional oenologist methods. Our attempt is to redefine the Bikavér (Bull’s Blood) and the other Eger wines, which requires consistent horticultural and oenological work.
