Winemaking: Kővágó is among the most famous of the vineyards around Mád. Its southern aspect and favourable microclimate ensure excellent production and good tendency for Furmint aszú berry development. The 5000 vines/ha and reduced yield volume result in outstanding quality grapes, rich in minerals.

The harvested grapes for this wine were chosen on the selection table and then pressed under low pressure in a small press. After settling the wine fermented in a new barrel. After malolactic fermentation the wine was kept on fine lees.

Wine tasting: “Tokaj Crown Estates has entered a dry wine to this year’s Auction. Along with Szarvas vineyard, Kővágó was once the most valuable of the royal estates. If we compare the two terroirs, then perhaps with its defined character Kővágó would now beat the modest, refined structure of Szarvas wines. Superb balance, still perceptible tannins, refined acids. The nose is expressly fruits, dominated by pear and quince with sweet spices.” (Gabriella Mészáros)
