Wine in Bodrogkeresztúr, Tokaj

Tokaj Nobilis ★ 4.4

Tokaj Nobilis was founded in 2000 in Bodrogkeresztúr by winemaker Sarolta Bárdos and her husband Péter Molnár; the 7-hectare estate focuses on single-vineyard expressions and also offers guesthouse accommodation.

Tasting: Winery visits, tastings and accommodation in Bodrogkeresztúr; booking via website.

Signature wines: tokaj-nobilis-barakonyi-furmint, tokaj-nobilis-aszu

Tip: Sarolta Bárdos is one of the region's most compelling advocates for dry Furmint; the Barakonyi plot delivers notably saline minerality.

Füleky Pince ★ 4.0

Füleky Pince is a family estate in Bodrogkeresztúr at the Bodrog-Tisza confluence, a village whose morning mists reliably stimulate noble rot; the estate produces Furmint and Aszú from these fog-prone slopes.

Tasting: Cellar visits and tastings in Bodrogkeresztúr by appointment.

Signature wines: fuleky-furmint, fuleky-aszu-5-puttonyos

Tip: Bodrogkeresztúr's autumn fogs produce some of the region's most consistently botrytised grapes; the village is a good base for understanding the geographical origins of Tokaji Aszú.

Bodrogkeresztúr village terrace wine bar ★ 4.1

Bodrogkeresztúr, a small Hegyalja village between Tokaj town and Tarcal, has a cluster of terrace wine bars open on summer evenings that draw visitors from the surrounding cellar estates. The village sits on the Bodrog riverbank and the terrace bars overlook vineyard-covered slopes; a quieter alternative to the busier Tokaj town bars.

Wine focus: Local Hegyalja dry Furmint and Szamorodni from neighbouring estates

Tip: Bodrogkeresztúr is midway between Tokaj town and Tarcal on the regional wine road; stopping here for an evening glass is a natural pause point on a two-village itinerary.
