Intuition wines are exceptional, almost unrepeatable imprints of grape varieties and vineyards, and can not be created in every vintage.These distinctive terroir wines reflect the specific qualities of their vineyards, respond spontaneously to the conditions of each vintage, and embody the intuitive and creative decisions of the winemaker. This approach allows us to move beyond the traditional categories of Tokaj wines.
“The only real valuable thing is intuition.” – Albert Einstein
In this vintage, the Tokaji Dry Muscat à Petits Grains, Nyulászó is presented as a dry expression of the variety. The nose reveals an elegant harmony of rose petals, lychee and mint, while the palate is defined by the ripe fruit of peach, complemented by the refreshing notes of pomelo and citrus.

The 2024 vintage in the Tokaj wine region was a year of adaptation. An unusually mild winter and early spring suggested a promising start, but extreme summer heat and July hailstorms required continuous adjustments throughout the growing season.
Harvest for the dry wines began exceptionally early, on 16 August. Despite the challenging conditions, the fruit reached excellent ripeness with remarkable concentration and aromatic purity. The resulting wines display vibrant fruit, balanced structure and a clear expression of both the vintage and the distinctive character of Tokaj.
One of the youngest historical vineyards, yet among the most outstanding in quality—an exceptional site for cultivating one of our most important grape varieties, muscat blanc a petits grains. Nestled on a 200-meter-high hillside at the southeastern edge of Mád, the Nyulászó vineyard may be the youngest historically, but it stands among the finest in character. With gentle slopes facing all directions, the vineyard enjoys abundant sunshine and warmth. Located at the crossroads of several volcanic formations, it brings together all the rock types found in Mád’s famed hills. The soil is mostly heavy brown forest soil, with higher areas composed of yellow clay. Beneath the surface layers of weathered rhyolite and bentonite can be found, occasionally mixed with scattered quartzite stones.
Approaching from the south, visitors are greeted by one of our estate’s oldest parcels, where 65-year-old vines stand. Holdvölgy cultivates six distinct parcels on three different exposures of Nyulászó.
Our Nyulászó parcels are dedicated exclusively to muscat blanc a petits grains (Sárgamuskotály), a variety particularly well-suited to this terroir. Here, we apply a precisely tailored viticultural approach that meets the specific needs of the grape. This exceptional harmony between site and variety is reflected in the results: since 2008, five late harvest wines from Nyulászó have been awarded gold medals at the Muscats du Monde, one of the world’s leading competitions for Muscat wines.
