About the Winemaker

Turay

The Turay family's winemaking heritage dates back to the 17th century, with their noble status granted by Emperor Leopold I in 1663. For twelve generations, the Turay family has been cultivating grapes, a tradition briefly halted by the upheavals of the 20th century in Hungary. The modern Turay Pince was established in 2002 with the acquisition of a small cellar and vineyard in the village of Baj, located in the Neszmély wine region. - Rooted
