Balassa Winery

It all started with 0.8 hectares in the Mézes-mály vineyard. And from then on, creativity, a thirst for knowledge, defiance and pride has been spinning the counter. You don’t even notice and you’re already owning 5 hectares… The last 16 years have been a time of building the estate, of gaining experience. The next years will be spent polishing and shaping the estate. The goal is invariably striving for the best. And that’s the only goal. That’s what started it, that’s what István Balassa staked the last 20 years on, and will stake the next 20 on. The amazing conditions offered by the wine region, the hundreds of terroirs, the wonderful world of Botrytis, all add up to the incredibly complex MATRIX called Tokaj-Hegyalja.
