aaaaFüleky Tokaj Estate is an export-oriented family-owned boutique winery in Bodrogkeresztúr village at foot of Tokaj Hill, on the bank of Bodrog River.
Bodrogkeresztúr is not only a village of Tokaji wines but a favourite nesting place for storks. One of their wine brands was named of a local existing stork named Fülöp. From the income, they are supporting maintenance of stork nests, creation of stork nest stands and electric insulation to protect birds.
The beautifully renovated and restored Baroque Füleky mansion and the winery are in the centre of Bodrogkeresztúr village, where is located the grave of the wonder rabbi Reb Steiner Saje. It makes the village a world-famous place of pilgrimage.
The winery is named after György Füleky, who was one of the founders of the First Tokaj Wine Growers’ Society and descendent of the noble family that built our Estate Center at the end of the 18th-century.
OUR PHILOSOPHY:
We make well balanced and elegant wines with firm acidity (cc.35.000 bottles/year). Füleky wines reflect the vision of our skilled team, the volcanic terroir of our vineyards in Bodrogkeresztúr, Tokaj, Tarcal and Mád villages, at eleven different historical “Vineyard Sites” (growth place, cru, tract, etc). Our lands are located in the southern part of the Tokaj region.
FOOD-WINE PAIRING:
Our website offers food-wine pairing suggestions for each of our wines. Csaba Harmath, our gastronomic advisor recommends excellent pairings year after year for new dry and with a focus on our sweet wines.

What food to pair a sweet wine from Tokaj with? We thought beyond the obvious choices – dessert, goose liver, and cheese. Get inspired by our out of the box and easily prepared food suggestions (international & Hungarian dishes), and compose a complete Tokaj wine dinner consisting of a starter, main course, and dessert paired all with dry and sweet Tokaji wines.

aaaaFÜLEKY VINEYARDS
Founded in 1998, the estate owns 25 hectares in the best vineyards in the Tokaj wine region, at eleven different locations:
o Teleki – Tokaj village
o Vinnai – Tarcal village
o Dobai – Tarcal village
o Mestervölgy – Tarcal village

o Palandor – Olaszliszka village
Currently, we cultivate 15 hectares, and we are in the process of several new plantations. We are constantly experimenting in the vineyard and do everything to get to know their lands’ characteristics and the opportunities they hide within by making single-vineyard wines.
We produce the following grape varieties: FURMINT, HÁRSLEVELŰ, MUSKOTÁLY, KABAR. Our main grape is the Furmint.
aaaaFÜLEKY TOKAJ BRANDS
1.) FÜLEKY TOKAJ – our classic wines
o DRY WINES:
- Estate wine, a blend of our best vineyards. Füleky Tokaj overview.
- Single-vineyard wines present and explore the grape varieties and the distinctive Füleky Tokaj terroirs. Many grown in historic First Growth vineyards. Füleky Tokaj in depth.
o LATE HARVEST WINE: Elegant acidity balances the natural sweetness of overripe, late harvested grapes in deliciously drinkable wines that can be enjoyed as an aperitif or dessert wine. Free-styled Tokaj sweet wines, whereby the winery decides the necessity of barrel ageing and its length, the bottle type and size. Fun sweetness.
o SWEET SZAMORODNI: This late harvest, barrel-aged wine made from bunches with healthy and aszú berries is a Tokaj speciality, bottled in the same white (500 ml) bottle than Tokaji Aszú. Fresh and dried fruit aromas, refined acidity makes generous sweetness feels more discreet. Extremely food friendly. Sweet and sour sensations.
o ASZÚ: The noble wine that distinguishes Tokaj from the rest of the world. An exceptional sweet style created with truly unique winemaking and enabled by the climate which allows a natural miracle, noble rot. When autumn humidity from the rivers Tisza and Bodrog rises to meet the overripe grapes, Botrytis cinerea can start its magic. As the noble rot develops, warm, sunny and breezy autumn days assist the shrivelling of grapes, which concentrates the natural sugars, harmonious acids and exciting flavours. Hand-selected from the vine, the aszú grapes are briefly macerated in (fermenting) must or wine before fermentation finishes and the wine is barrel aged in the cellar. “C’est le roi des vins, et le vin des rois” (King Louis XIV of France. Explosive intensity.
o ESZENCIA: The pure essence of aszú berries. While individually hand-picked aszú grapes are collected and stored (before Aszú is made) they give an incredibly sweet nectar pressed by their own weight. With over 450 g sugar/litre, it ferments unbelievably slowly until it reaches 1.2-8 % alcohol. A special EU dispensation includes this Tokaji specialty as wine that was once available in pharmacies. Unctuous luxury.
2.) FÜLÖP the Phenomenon, Bodrogkeresztúr’s white stork brand – more easily understood wines
o The range is named after Philip the Stork who stayed in the village for many years (normally storks migrate in winter). Introduction to Füleky Tokaj.
o Our second label contains a Dry and a Late harvest wine.
o Social responsibility: maintenance of storks’ nests from the income in Bodrogkeresztúr village.
