Percze

Size: 4 hectares
Location: Mád, Tokaj
Soil Type: Red Clay, Quartz Tuff
Grape Varietals: Furmint

Dating back to pre-WWII when it belonged to the Piarist monastery, this ten-acre vineyard is planted on the quiet Percze hill directly overlooking the village of Mád. Atop the hill, the unforgettable panoramic vista to the south is accentuated by a colorful orchard bearing abundant quantities of cherries, pears and a variety of wild nuts.

Rich in minerals transported up to the surface by a hot geyser back when this volcanic hill was active, Percze displays its versatility as a primary source of berries used in the company's dry Sec as well as in its creamy, sweet dessert wines. The uniqueness of the Percze terroir adds a vibrant floral and fruity character, profound complexity and grace to the Királyudvar estate wines.

"Percze rarely sees autumn frost. The vineyard consistently provides fully ripened grapes without the effects of early seasonal botrytis. As nature would have it, Percze provides the balanced precision along with the necessary substance to anchor our Sec wine." - Anthony Hwang, proprietor
