Wonderfully unexpected, beautifully unpredictable, as a free imagination of an author.

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 extraordinary vintages, we are able to harvest the Muscat à petits grains grape not just for a sweet lot, but also for a dry wine from first- growth Nyulászó. This wine is characterized by sophisticated terroir notes and perfume scents. On the nose, rose petal, strawberry, and a hint of lemongrass dominate the aromas. On the palate, white peach, pomelo, and lime take the lead.

January 2023 was especially mild and wet, but the soil utilized the water well. Spring was oddly cool and foggy which delayed the start of sap flow in vines, budding occurred only on the 24th of April. Blooming started reluctantly on the 5th of June, 1 week later than last year. Dry harvest also began later this year, on the 7th of September at the first growth Dorgó with the Zéta grape. Due to the substantial amount of rain and high temperatures berries started to crack and botritis (noble rot) was on the rise too which was favorable for sweet lots but aggravated the collection of dry fruits. With more precise sorting and spending more time in the vineyards, we collected healthy grape bunches for our dry wines till the 10th of October.
