Grape production and wine making are absolutely built upon one another. Excellent quality grapes are the essential foundation for excellent wines.
We can follow the steps of the process with pictures.

Pruning – Pruning work begins in January.

By royal command and in order to train local experts the wine-makers’ college was established between 1872-74. The school building is today the castle hotel. Obviously the cellar and the press above, the site for the practical education, were an integral part of the institution.

The winery buildings are composed of two parts. The buildings were designed by architect Ferenc Salamin – currently chief architect for Szerencs and the surrounding area, he studied under Imre Makovecz. It was important in the design that the original landscape be disturbed as little as possible and that the building be constructed of as natural materials as possible (white stone from Mád, wood).
The original building above the cellar used as the press house today houses the offices.
Grape processing is carried out in the second part. The bottling plant and storage for the finished product is sited in one of the two wings linked to the so-called manipulation area while the fermentation tanks are kept in the other.
It can be stated with truth that the winery is integrated; processing of the grapes, winemaking, maturing, bottling and storage are all carried out in one place.

„Gyalázod a bort, hogy nem ád eszet?
Mi hathatósabb a bornál ugyan?
Nem látod: az ember, hogyha jót iszik,
Mily dús, pörét megnyerte, végrehajt
Mindent, barátját fölsegéli; boldog.
Hozz hát nekem egy kancsóval: az eszem
Hadd áztatom meg s mondok egy okost.”
Arisztophanész: Ész-áztató bor
