We founded our winery in the centre of Erdőbénye in 2013 in an over 100-yr-old stone vineyard master’s house which hosts both the guesthouse under which our wines age in the cool patinaed cellar branches.
We cultivate around 8 hectares in vineyards surrounding Erdőbénye. We have gradually moved to organic production in most of our land, with lots of manual work and avoiding the use of systemic chemicals. We make around 9000 bottles of wine from our varied terroirs. From the typical Tokaj grape varieties we make modern, refined dry wines as well as elegant Aszús and sweet late harvests crowning the range. We have also been making an exciting Hárslevelű sparkling wine for the last four years and even bottle-aged bubbly too…
The “Préselők” (lit. Pressers) owners Zsolt Nagy and his wife Gabi Mészáros, and Árpád Zöldi-Kovács, have been working with grapes and wine for one and a half decades. Zsolt started winemaking in a different wine region while viticulturalist and winemaker Árpád was the estate manager of a local winery until 2013 when the first Préselő vintage was made. The three characters complement each other well from the vineyard work through cellar tasks to the tasting table.
