Gróf Degenfeld Winery, Tokaj

In 1994, the Count Degenfeld family successfully revived its wine estate in the heart of the Tokaj wine region, ensuring that an over 150-year-old tradition lives on with the latest generation. Winemaking is closely intertwined with the family’s deep love and respect for nature; therefore, they have cultivated their vineyards organically since 2009. The family only work with native grapes best suited to the unique micro-climate, creating a range of single varietal wines with award-winning credentials. The bunches are hand-harvested and carefully vinified with minimal intervention. As a result, you are tasting an authentic drop of the volcanic Tokaj terroir with every sip you take.
