We cultivate 11 parcels in 7 traditional vineyars which are located in three neighbour villages Bodrogkeresztúr, Tarcal and Mád, close to the winery. Our creativity is based on the fact that we produce wine seperated from the particular parcels to ensure their individuality. Due to the different soil types, positions, grape varieties the wines have special characters, therefore each and every parcel plays significant role in our product range. To reach high quality our viniculture is methodicle , environmentally sound, and system approach. One of the key elements is the reduction of grape quantity. In some cases we use fractional harvesting methods in the fields.
