Story: Béres Vineyards is located in the village of Erdőbénye, one of the oldest settlements of Tokaj wine region. This wine is named after Magita, a brave and young girl, whose legend takes place in Erdőbénye during the Turkish invasion. According to the stories, a wealthy landowner's daughter, Magita’s house was a shelter where – risking her life – she hid Hungarian refugees. Two Turkish nobilities, Don and Onok fell in love with Magita, who – using their blind love – invited them and locked them in the cellar. The angry Turkish troops took a cruel revenge: spurned the locals and burnt the village down. Magita was buried alive as a punishment. However, she had another Turkish admirer, the old Suta, who dug the grave above a cellar so that Magita survived digging herself downwards. Unfortunately, the two fooled nobilities returned, and when noticing the escape of Magita, they began to pursue her. Poor Magita drowned in the lake near the village, and since the two Turks chased her adamantly, they were drowned as well. After they learnt about the death of their two comrades, the desperate Turkish troops

Story: The name of the wine, ‘Naparany’ means Gold of the Sun. The expression is taken from a renowned Hungarian poet, László Nagy. A poem written by him in the 70s was dedicated to senior doctor József Béres, founder of the winery. In the poem with the title ‘In the Footsteps of Late Fools’ ‘Gold of the Sun’ was used as a synonym of values forever – and it ‘rhymes’ with the colour of this wine as well. (Original title: Elhúllt bolondok nyomán)
