Our winery is in the heart of the Tokaj wine region in Hungary, just a few miles from Europe’s geometric centre. The Mád basin holds a special position in the world of grape growing because of its unique soil, macro climate, and microclimate. Settled as early as the 15th century, Mád is identified in ancient documents as a borough. It was a meeting point for barons, counts, lords, and wine merchants, making it a pivotal location for vine growing and the wine trade.

Holdvölgy operates on an area of twenty-eight hectares. Our estate is situated on twenty-seven parcels within seven different vineyards in the best areas of the Mád basin. Our cellar is one of the oldest cellar systems in the region, with some sections dating back as far as the 16th century. Our cellar is also one of the longest, measuring 1.8 kilometres.

The history of the winery started with a one-hectare birthday present. By 2006, the Estate had grown to twenty-eight hectares. The goal was and still is to achieve the vision of creating an iconic brand by international standards. In the eve of this 21st Century and taking into account all the major wine regions of the World only Tokaj and more particularly the Mád Basin would give us the means to succeed in our quest.

On the nose a hint of honey – proper to sweet wines of Tokaj – surrounded by peach, clove and orange notes. The sip is full of fruits like peach, Williams pear and citrus that are accompanied by oriental spices. A stylish and charming wine with the promise of a new adventure in each sip.

The fragrance starts off as a snow-white petal, with dynamic, citrusy aromas, green apple and gooseberry, boldly pushing the boundaries. As we get to the fresh, yet juicy, crunchy sip, apple continues to dominate, alongside something really special note – the striking, aromatic essence of passion fruit, intertwined with sour lime and then deepened by the creaminess of green banana. Impressive balance, intense experience.

The Holdvölgy’s liquid signature. It’s elaboration can be compared to a free style excercise of figure skating. The target: choosing from the historical Tokaj wine-making techniques (Fordítás, Máslás, Szamorodni, Aszú, Eszencia) and preparing the most beautiful wine of the vintage, according to Holdvölgy style. Reaching the most dynamic structure possible, with the complexity of an Aszú 5 puttonyos. Fresh and rich Botrytis aromas, lush flavors of honey flowing in it, an excellent sugar-acidity balance, youthful freshness and unforgettable richness of flavours. Its high sugar content accompanied by such acidity is only able to offer so many fruits and aftertaste. It has decades to live!

Holdvölgy Vision

Tokaji Dry Selection 2018

The sixth vintage of our estate selection is vibrant and unique. The innocently opening aromas of Williams pear, cedar and quince dazzle us immediately. On the palate its pure and vigorous with pineapple and pink grapefruit notes leading the way to balanced pear flavour. Round, elegantly structured and complex wine with infinite length of flavour.

The fifth release of a parcel selected Furmint from the historical first growth Király. On the nose spicy pear and lots of citrus along an exciting duo of green apples and cedar.
The sip is endless, green apple is completed with passion fruit, lime and some pink grapefruit. A firm and serious balance in this crystal-clear, carefully selected Furmint.

Clear, tight late harvest wine, vibrant imprint of this international grape variety and Grand Cru Nyulászó vineyard from a cooler vintage. The spicy and rich nose is characterized by delicate notes of honey, lemongrass, rose and mango. On the palate we have peaches, lychee, lime and pear. The precise acid-sugar balance reveals the irresistible character of the wine. Elegant and seductive.

It starts off with vanilla and lots of tropical fruit on the nose, followed by cooler herbal notes, as well as with tertiary aromas of fungus and bread-crust. Full and thick, demonstrating a serious concentration on the palate, with a taste dominated by dried fruit (apricot in the first place), vanilla cream and sweet spiciness – with the latter one to prevail in the finish. A great promise from a specifically „aszús” vintage year.
