The Wine & Winemaker
- Winemaker: Géza Lenkey
- Region: Tokaj (Mád), Hungary
- Grape: Old indigenous Hungarian varieties
The Story
Géza Lenkey is a winemaker who completely changed how we look at the classic Tokaj region. While the focus here has traditionally been on the famous sweet wines, Géza decided to walk a different path. He crafts dry, structured wines from the volcanic vineyards around the village of Mád. His cellar is literally underground, carved deep into the earth. What defines his work is an ultimate sense of patience. Wines are never rushed to the market here. They are given the time to rest, breathe, and evolve over years. This is pure experimentation, but deeply rooted in local history.
The Vibe & Tasting Notes
The Puritán is probably the most unusual wine in this entire selection. Made from old, rare indigenous grapes that used to be common in Tokaj, this wine will completely blow your mind. After a natural fermentation, it aged for over two years on the lees. The result is savory, herbal, and intensely volcanic. Expect layers of green apple, rosemary, dill, citrus peel, and an earthy depth that keeps unfolding in your glass. This is Tokaj in a completely different, unpolished voice.

Images are for illustration purposes only. The actual wines in each box may vary.
A box with the amount of bottles of your choosing delivered every month on the first week. The theme changes monthly. One month you get wines from Hungary, some months all oranges, some months... who knows!
Pause or change your subscription at any time. Going on holiday and want to skip a month? No problem. Got excited after trying out a 1-bottle box and want to go for the 3-bottle box next? No problem!
Why natural wine costs more, and why it’s worth it
-
No shortcuts
Growers who refuse pesticides and chemical additives accept that they’ll lose a significant part of their harvest to weather, disease, and unpredictable nature, but they do it to keep their wines pure, alive, and honest.
-
Risk and loss
Nature swings between plenty and scarcity; frost, hail, heat and ferments can erase volumes, fewer bottles must carry the farm’s costs, with ageing measures adding expense to keep the wine clean and true over time.
-
Integrity and handwork
Hands replace chemicals: they weed, manage canopies, pick, and sort by hand; presses and gravity moves protect texture, while cleanliness and patient ageing deliver purity without shortcuts, increasing labor but preserving integrity in every bottle.
