A tiny, 1 km wide strip of land “corridor” that is located between the brook called Tolcsva and the hill called Zsadany-Hegy (today part of Sárazsadany). The place was first mentioned in 1336.  The River Bodrog runs at the bottom of the corridor. The newer name of the hill is Rudnok. Mainly because of the proximity of the river this area is an exceptionally favorable environment for rich Aszu production. This area was already classified as a first class grape growing area in the 1700s. The soil is andesite tufa with black top soil on top of it. We managed to acquire this area after 9 years of trying to purchase it. This vineyard produces grapes for rich and robust wines.

The most renowned vineyard of Sárospatak. Its name Királyhegy was given to it after the royal mansion that is located at the foot of the hill. It was the favorite hiking place of Princess Zsuzsanna Lorántffy, wife of György Rákóczi, the Duke of Transylvania. The area was owned by the Princess and donated to the Calvinist Liceum of Sárospatak in 1640. The area changed ownership over the centuries but remained in the hands of several protestant families.  The Lorántffy-pihenőhely (a lookout point) facing the River Bodrog is our winemaker’s favorite place and he hopes to restore the place to its original plight. You will find the best view from here to the River Bodrog and the neighboring villages.

The pearl jam of our winery. We can still find the castle of baron Waldblatt at the top of the hill. It is a historical area with the castle. This is the location of our winery with the most mature, some 50 years old vines in the vineyard of Portius that were well maintained. A major hail storm destroyed most of the vines. Our winemaker managed to replant the area and start it all over.

Megyer is the name of a hill in the city of Sarospatak. First mentioned in a book in 1324. The name of the place reflects the name of the Megyer Hungarian tribe that arrived and stayed in the area. This is a set of vineyards that were previously owned by owners such as The Palos order of the catholic church in the 14-15th centuries and by the Perényi family in the 16th century. Zsuzsanna Lorántffy was also one of the owners in the 17th century. This area was also part of the Austrian Emperor’s treasury during the reign of Joseph the 2nd. We can also mention noble families in the 19th century such as the  Breczenheim or Windischgrätz families. The area was confiscated and nationalized by the communist leadership of Hungary after 1950. Megyer Hill is the place where Tokaj-Portius sourced its iconic Cuvée Biale 2017, Furmint Selectio 2018, Furmitage 2018.

Feketehegy (Blackhill) is located on the altitude of 370 m in the city of Sátoraljaújhely. This vineyard is our winery’s latest acquisition. This area was owned by Princess Zsuzsanna Lorántffy in the 17th century.  (She built a presshouse in the area). The location was well tested in the past. As our new acquisition, based on our research we have high hopes to make bone dry wines from our first harvest. We believe that this area has huge potential. The soil is a mixture of clay and rhyolite tufa. The location and orientation of the vineyard is exceptional and very promising.

Rány is located in  Vámosújfalu and has been a reliable source of distinguished grapes since the Árpád era (between 896 and 1301). It is one of the oldest slopes of the Tokaj wine region. The place was mentioned in a written document only in 1248 in connection with the castle and its territories in Sárospatak. The original name of the place was Szennyőhalma. We can find more details on the history of Rány in the publications of Kornél Nagy.  Rány is also a reliable source of exceptional quality grapes for the Tokaj-Portius.
