Wines of Chateau Káldi

At Chateau Káldi, we believe that wine is not just a product, but a testament to time, soil, and the dedication of five generations. Nestled in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage region of Mád, our vineyard is dedicated exclusively to the Furmint grape—the soul of Tokaj.

Our philosophy is simple yet uncompromising: „The smaller the quantity, the higher the quality.” With an annual production limited to only 1,000–2,500 individually numbered bottles, every drop represents the pinnacle of artisanal winemaking. From the hand-tended vines to the bespoke Zemplén oak barrels and our signature glass-stoppered bottles, we cater to those who seek the extraordinary.

Chateau Káldi Barrique Selection

The Spirit of Modern Tradition | 0.75 l

This dry Furmint is a „miracle in a bottle” – a bold, revolutionary wine that respects Tokaj’s roots while exploring new horizons. Harvested by hand only when the grapes reach a perfect golden ripeness, it undergoes a meticulous fermentation process to preserve its vibrant, citric energy and deep mineral character.

  • Character: Young, mineral, and groundbreaking with a refined fruit profile.

  • Craftsmanship: Aged for 6–8 months in new 220-litre barrique barrels, followed by a full year of bottle-aging in our volcanic cellar.

  • Balance: A delicate residual sugar of 4–6 g/l ensures a harmonious, elegant finish.

Chateau Káldi Aszú 6 Puttonyos

The Liquid Gold of Mád | 0.5 l

The Aszú is where nature and patience collide. Produced only in exceptional vintages, this wine relies on the „noble rot” (Botrytis cinérea) and a painstaking manual harvest where each berry is picked one by one. Following a centuries-old formula, we macerate six „puttony” of noble berries into every Gönc barrel, creating a nectar of unparalleled richness.

  • Character: Sublime, complex, and timeless. A true specialty with over 250 g/l of natural residual sugar.

  • Craftsmanship: Aged for 12–16 months in 136-litre Gönc barrels in our underground volcanic cellar, then refined for an additional 2 years in the bottle.

  • Balance: While exquisite now, this Aszú is designed for a journey of development that can span decades.
