OUR WINE CELLAR
Sajgó Wine Cellar is a classical family enterprise.
As of 1997 we have been bottling the wines we produce and put out.
Today we are growing the traditional Tokaj wine grapes (such as Furmint,
Hárslevelű [Lindenleaf], Yellow Muscatel) on 16 hectares and also complete
our supplies by buying grapes from controlled areas.
We have selected the most appropriate cultivation areas with great care
around Tolcsva and its area.
We are present on the Hungarian and foreign markets with 16 wines like
Furmint, Hárslevelű, Yellow Muscatel, our late vintaged wines, a rich
choice of Cuvée, Szamorodni, Aszú and Aszú essences.
Our wines are being seasoned in several wineries of different climates.
The wine cellar takes a significant role in the development of viticulture
and wine-growing in Tokaj-hegyalja, the dynamic progress of the company
is ensured by its modern vinification and bottling plant built as an independent
economic unit in Tolcsva in 1996.
Our philosophy is:
Grow high quality grapes and produce excellent quality
wines.
What makes good wine is the grapes and quality raw materials.
Our wines are typical of their traditional oxidative seasoning applying a several-year wooden barrel maturing period, especially with the Szamorodni and the Aszú wines. However, the wine cellar's wine palette includes the currently fashionable fresh and fruity tasting young wines as well (Cuvée, late vintaged Furmint, Yellow Muscatel, Hárslevelű)
Our activities include:
Viticulture, vinification, wine-making, classic oxidative wooden barrel
seasoning of wines, modern processing and bottling of the wine, local
and foreign wine sales, catering.
Our wine cellar organizes wine-tastings and presentations. (Groups must
apply in advance to be received.)
