History
Erdőbénye (Forest Good) sits in a wooded valley at higher elevation than the main Tokaj wine villages; forest cover moderates both heat and frost, extending the growing season and producing wines of pronounced natural acidity. The village's name refers to the forests surrounding the vineyards.
