 PATRICIUS ESTATE WINERY
The Patricius Estate has its place in the history of the Tokaj region. In the mid-1990s, the Kékessy family purchased the estate, and began acquiring excellent vineyard sites in the first growth classified vineyards of Teleki, Sajgó, Bendecz, Lapis, Czigány, Várhegy, and Szárhegy. These vineyards are comprised of topsoil of broken andesite and rhyolite volcanic tuff, with clay and loess.
The winery facility was designed to use gravity flow, and uses the finest equipment and barrels. The wine maker is young Péter Molnar, whose passion for the region, it’s history, the symbiosis between climate, soils, grapes and the cellar are reflected in the beautiful wines that he crafts. Although a newcomer to the Tokaj region, this estate is poised to become one of the leading wine producers of world-class Tokaj wines.
