A biodynamic family winery in Tokaj-Hegyalja, rooted in respect for vine and tradition.
About the winery
Pendits is a family-run winery operated by Marta Wille-Baumkauff and her sons. Founded in 1991, the estate has become one of the Tokaj-Hegyalja region's most distinguished producers, recognized through numerous certifications. The family has long cultivated their vineyards according to biodynamic principles: in 2008, they became the first certified organic estate in Tokaj-Hegyalja, and by 2011, Hungary's first Demeter International biodynamically certified winery. Their vineyards form part of the UNESCO World Heritage site.
Marta's passion for nature led her to establish the biodynamic foundation of the estate, Stefan oversees organization and operational work in the vineyards and cellar, and their sons manage sales, wine tastings, and international relations. Vineyard work follows the biodynamic calendar, aligned with lunar and zodiac phases. Their wines reflect the unique character of each vintage, vineyard site, and grape variety.
