Szent Benedek Winery – Tokaj Region

Szent Benedek’s winemaker, József Ádam, aims to show the diverse volcanic soils of the vineyards around the top Tokaj towns of Tállya and Mád. This small family-owned winery is located in a 17th century villa in the village of Tállya, with an enchanting old mould-covered cellar.

Ádam is a winemaker with passionate ideas about his work, and what a Tokaj wine should be. He believes blending dry wines from different vineyards is the key to real Tokaj-style dry  wines, comparing blending to being ‘like mixing spices in cooking’. Then he likes to age them to perfection, for much longer than most wineries in the region do today.
