The unique set of unique wines, which are result of dutiful work of our wine-dressers and wine-cellar masters. Grapes have been selected by hand and you will feel its quality in every spot you drink.

The collections Virginia, Saturnia and Mystéria are connected with the label where a tender flower of white poppy is dominating. This flower blesses one of our best tracts of Tokaj region – tract Makovisko every year…

• Virginia is the first, virgin harvest from the young vineyard which had ripened on our vineyard tract Makovisko.

Virginia is the first complete collection of three virgins, in transformation of classic Tokaj cultivars: Furmint, Lipovina, and Yellow Muscat. Grafted plants had been cultivated with love and planted in spring 2005 and in autumn 2007 have given their first, virgin harvest. This south-western hillside – tract Makovisko belongs to historically best locations in the region of Slovak Tokaj. It is named after rare white poppy, which grows in this area and blossoms every year in our vineyards. And that is why white poppy became a symbol for this precious – virgin – collection Virginia. We recommend you to taste this wine slightly chilled at 10°C and leave it to take some fresh air for a while, so “virgin” has some time to open herself for you.
