Lenkey Winery
Our trunks are treated as human beings. We guard, and worry about them.
There are no strict rules, we love liberty and experimentation during winemaking.

Lenkey Winery
We have not used herbicide and insecticides since 2005 at all in our vineyards.
We apply organic plant protection in our eight vineyards, and fifteen plots since 2015,
it means the entire estate is organically cultivated.

During wine making we do not apply selected yeast, no added sugar, no acid dimming,
and we do not apply malolactic fermentation neither.

Lenkey Winery
Our wine making is always based on low yield crop.
The harvest happens by hand picking, and we do it on the very end of the season.

Lenkey Winery
Our wine cellar has been built in the traditional style of Tokaj.
It has been created by diligent people of Mád in the 1500’s.
Lenkey Winery
We deeply believe the greatness of Tokaj, which has been proved via the maturity of the wines.
Therefore we love the extreme long barrel and bottle aging.

I feel relief and a sense of loss at the same time. Relief because I don’t have to worry about the harvest outside anymore, a sense of loss because I miss the excitement… it’s strange, but it’s like that every year…

It was a little more than two months from the beginning to the last picking… Now, with clear head I feel hopeful regarding the whole process, I’m confident that exciting wines will be made from the 2022 vintage.

Of course, not everything turned out as I planned either, we had to constantly adapt to the possibilities (for example, the 3 weeks of rain in September, it hurt a lot…) but that is the beauty of winemaking… that is what we love a lot…

Tokaj-Hegyalja, Mád

 

I think Tokaj is the most unique wine region in the entire world…. I feel extremely lucky that me and my family can be estate owner in this region.

Tokaj wine so easily recognizeable such as AC/DC becomes recognizeable in the music after the first couple of tunes.

Our wines really fit in to the modern restaurant gastronomy, that is my impression after fifteen years of experiance. Our partner restaurants have the will to create something brand new. The staff of these restaurants have their own thought, and liberty to create something brand new.

I want to strengthen our presence in wine stores in the future!  As I can see we have task to do!

Based upon a true story...

 

Once upon a time there lived a young lad.

He was dreaming about a vineyard and a wine cellar in the Tokaj wine region.

The Vine

The vine plant is respectable, tough, and always renewable. When I walk between my vines, I hear them whispering behind me: „Does our farmer deserve to get nice fruit from us?”

Nevertheless, if I want to share my thoughts with You without raving about wine, I have to tell you the story of my 2005 vintage.

level

There were two heavy hailstorms with flood in the village of Mád in 2005. On top of that, another disaster came in the form of a hurricane. When the disasters were over, the people of Mád went to their vineyards and as they saw the extreme damage, everyone thought they were not going to harvest that year at all. The soil was buried under green leaves and child bunches as the hailstorm destroyed the vineyards. However, the vine did not give it up. New sprouts and small bunches turned up a few weeks later. By the time the harvest season arrived, the  vineyards had become full of ripe grapes and vignerons were extremely happy.

Our vineyard of ten acres is home to  21,471 vines.

Our youngest plantation is 25, our oldest is 55 years old.

Our varieties include ~55 % of Furmint, ~ 40% of Hárslevelű and ~5% of muscat lunell…
