History
Jäger Pince is among the boutique family estates in Mád that collectively define the single-parcel approach to dry Furmint. Mád's rhyolite tuff and volcanic clay soils produce wines of distinctive mineral concentration; the family tends small parcels on the volcanic hillsides above the village.
