<\/div>\n

One of the youngest historical vineyards, yet among the most outstanding in quality\u2014an exceptional site for cultivating one of our most important grape varieties, muscat blanc a petits grains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

References to viticulture in this area date back to the 16th century, indicating ownership by noble families and religious orders such as the R\u00e1k\u00f3czi, Szirmay, and Orczy families, as well as the Jesuit and Piarist orders. Part of the village was built on the western slope of Nyul\u00e1sz\u00f3 Hill, which, due to its proximity, also served as a popular location for rabbit hunting, a favorite pastime of the nobility. Even today, it\u2019s not uncommon to see rabbits wandering nearby, often stalked by ravens. Our historic cellar system, with its 109 branches, lies deep beneath this vineyard hill, preserving our aging wines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GEOGRAPHY AND GEOLOGY<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Nestled on a 200-meter-high hillside at the southeastern edge of M\u00e1d, the Nyul\u00e1sz\u00f3 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 M\u00e1d\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Approaching from the south, visitors are greeted by one of our estate\u2019s oldest parcels, where 65-year-old vines stand. Holdv\u00f6lgy cultivates six distinct parcels on three different exposures of Nyul\u00e1sz\u00f3.
Our Nyul\u00e1sz\u00f3 parcels are dedicated exclusively to muscat blanc a petits grains (S\u00e1rgamuskot\u00e1ly), 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 Nyul\u00e1sz\u00f3 have been awarded gold medals at the Muscats du Monde, one of the world\u2019s leading competitions for Muscat wines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
