About the winery
Sajgó Pincészet is a family winery founded in 1995 in Tolcsva, combining generations of inherited winemaking knowledge and passion with a modern yet tradition-respecting approach. Since 1997, Sajgó Gábor and his wife Kiszely Katalin have been bottling their wines on-site. Today, their daughter Sajgó Krisztina actively participates in the winery's work.
The family cultivates classic Tokaj grape varieties – Furmint, Hárslevelű, and Sárgamuskotály – on 17 hectares with particular attention to terroir selection. They supplement their portfolio with grapes from carefully monitored external sources. Crop limitation, hand harvesting, and modern technology ensure consistent quality. They employ traditional oxidative barrel aging, especially for szamorodni and aszú wines, while their range also includes fresh, fruity modern offerings such as late-harvest Furmints and cuvée wines.
The winery offers tastings combined with cellar visits and wine presentations, with dining available upon request. Their mission is to preserve, promote, and pass on the tradition of Tokaj wine as a Hungarian treasure to future generations.

Szamorodni contains grape bunches with both noble rotted and healthy berries at harvest. Its quality is determined by the proportion of noble rotted grapes.
Cuvée blend from the Sajgó Pincészet wines. A wine of excellent quality prepared with a modern winemaking approach.
The noble rotted berry is nature's gift to Hegyalja. Gray mold infects the grapes, evaporating much of the water and creating valuable aszú berries.
3 puttonyos Aszú wine, a moderately sweet Tokaji aszú. Made with traditional barrel aging.
5 puttonyos Aszú, a significantly sweeter wine. A high-quality dessert wine matured with traditional barrel aging.
6 puttonyos Aszú, the sweetest category. An exceptionally valuable Tokaji dessert wine matured in barrels for an extended period.
Aszúeszencia is made from the nectar that drips from carefully selected noble rotted berries under their own weight. Of exceptional aroma, flavor richness, and high sugar content.
Eszencia with its unparalleled aroma and flavor richness is one of the world's most natural bio-products. Its high sugar content makes fermentation difficult, achieving only a few degrees of alcohol.
Fordítás is a by-product of szamorodni production. Fresh grape must is poured onto the residual solids containing noble rotted berries, which then ferments and ages.
