Henye's reputation as a Hungarian grand-cru vineyard dates back to 18th century when the property was owned by the Imperial Hapsburg family. Easily recognized for powerful aromas of orange blossoms and tropical fruits with clean acidity, wine from Henye can reach exceptional levels in any given year.

The legendary vineyard uniformly covers the hillside separating Tarcal and Bodrogkeresztúr while basking in the warmth of the summer sun from its angled Southern exposures. Late autumn morning fogs from the nearby Bodrog River roll over the fields helping to propagate the onset of botrytis on the skin of the berries. In Henye, the Aszú berries typically require additional time to fully develop and are hand-harvested towards the end of the picking season in November.
