The sight of the vineyards, the smell of the fresh soil and the taste of Tokaj wine have captivated us for generations. Sárospatak, this beautiful historic town is home to our estate and a newly discovered treasure of the Tokaj wine region.
Our vineyards are located on four unique slopes near the Megyer-Hegyi Tengerszem. The jewel box between the two mountains is a real hidden wonderland, where the vineyards are able to show the diversity of Tokaj wines. The Király-hegy, Kútpatka, Megyer and Ciróka vineyards cover 17 hectares, (equivalent to 42 acres.)
Without doubt, the best place to taste any wine is where it is made. In Sárospatak, in the shade of the Tengerszem, in the embrace of the Megyer and Király-Hegy, you will find one of the unique Tokaj wine estates: The Harsányi Winery and Dülőbistro. The restaurant on the roof of the winery offers breathtaking views, cool wines, a special menu and other activities and wine tastings. It is an unmissable destination for anyone who wants to experience the spirit of the Tokaj Hills.
Királyhegy is the oldest historic vineyard of Sárospatak. The south-eastern, cool slope is based on rhyolitic tuff although there are spots of andesite which is also very common in volcanic territories. The wines of the slope have a tense acidic character and beautifully developing, particularly rich minerality. Furmint and yellow muscat are grown in this territory on 20 to 30-year-old highly productive vine stocks.
The core of the vine territory, the heart of the land was purchased by Jakab Rick the great-great-grandfather of the current owner (Gábor Harsányi) in 1850. The land has been owned by the same family for 170 years except for the Rákosi era. The base rock of the slope is rhyolitic tuff covered with less rocky, argillaceous, thick and fat soil. Due to the special terroir and its favourable south-western position the wines from here are playful, fruity and light. Furmint, hárslevelű and yellow muscat give us excellent wines from here.
The history of Megyer hill or slope in Sárospatak reaches back to the Middle Ages. It is most probably named after the Hungarian Megyer tribe from the era of the Hungarian conquest. The steep, south-western slope is characterised by very varied soil structures and colourful composition. There are high amounts of clay and fine grains of kaoline which results in a porous structure on the rocky ground. The wines of the slope are heavy, rich and creamy. The 20 to 30-year old vine stocks give us furmint and hárslevelű.
It is an exceptionally well-positioned slope with excellent conditions to spoil wine lovers with outstanding quality wines. It is a very steep and high territory where the number of sunny hours is expressly favourable for the grapes due to the southern position of the slope. It is based on rhyolitic tuff, which is typical in the area with ferric oxide precipitations. The soil structure is compact and rocky. Wines made from the grapes harvested here have good acidic structure and higher alcohol content and are complex and rich due to the excellent position of the territory. We find furmint and scented hárslevelű in the territory. The vine stocks may be as old as 40 years.
