Tokaj Hétszőlő Organic Vineyards

The Tokaj-Hétszőlő estate’s unique and first class, organic vineyards are situated on the southern slopes of Mount Tokaj. In 1502, the Garai family assembled seven parcels of land which became the Hétszőlő single vineyard. It used to belong to royal families, including the emperors of the Austro- Hungarian Monarchy. The estate has 55 hectares where a special micro-climate, the unique loess soil, the autochthon grape varieties (Furmint, Hárslevelű) and the “noble rot” give the Hétszőlő wines exceptional harmony, unique complexity and very high quality. The historical Rákóczi Cellar is owned by Hétszőlő Winery. It is situated in the heart of Tokaj, right next to the church on the main square of the town. Since 2009 Tokaj-Hétszőlő belongs to the Domaines Reybier group where its brother is Cos d’Estournel from Bordeaux.“We do believe that with the organic approach we can protect the vitality of the vines and so have better quality now and in the future. In order to be able to communicate this philosophy we only use our own grapes to create the Hétszőlő wines.” (Gergely Makai, chief winemaker & general director).
