The 45 grapes plantation of 45 hectares occupies the south-eastern slopes of the Peres Hill, the southern slopes of the Felhegy-Zsákos Hill and the Diókút Valley between them. The Estate also includes a plum plantation of 0.5 hectare (Besztercei variety) established in 2006 and a meadow-forest area of 47.5 hectares a part of which is also suitable for grape plantations (i.e. the Peres dűlő, the Erezstvény dűlő and the Pinceszer dűlő).
The Béres Vineyard includes such traditionally famed and recognised dűlő-s (“field”) as the Barkóczi, the Aranyka-, the Herczeg- and the Lőcse-dűlő. The latter received its name from “Lőcse” free royal city in the historical Upper-Hungary that owned this area three hundred years ago. The safe ecological background of the wine-growing is ensured by the rhyolite tuff lymphatic soil, the steepness of the slopes (somewhere 35%) and the excellent micro-climate.
The rate of the individual grape varieties:
- Furmint: 51 %
- Hárslevelű: 23 %
- Sárgamuskotály: 12 %
- Kövérszőlő: 7 %
- Zéta: 7 %
Map of the vineyards
1. South-western slopes of the Tolcsva-Peres Hill (totally 14,8 ha)
The historical Lőcse dűlő is one of the best known lands of Erdőbénye. In this dűlő the lower parts of the soil is hard, slope-deposited clay, the upper layer is looser, rhyolite-tuff detritus ground with sandstone powder and perlite granules. The bedrock is rhyolite foam.-lava and rhyolite-tuff detritus until the depth of 100 metre, in the deeper layers rhyolite-tuff with bentonite, silicon earth strips and chalcedony benches. The vine plantations of the Lőcse dűlő situated on the south-western slope of the Tolcsva-Peres Hill (420m) consist of two parts:
Lőcse
- area: 10 ha
- year of the vine-stock planting: 1982
- grape varieties: 50% Furmint, 50% Hárslevelű
- altitude: 180-215 m
- dip angle: 15°
Herczeg
- area: 4,8 ha
- year of the vine-stock planting: 2005
- grape variety: Furmint
- altitude: 215-275 m
- dip angle: 20-22°
2. Southern slopes of the Felhegy-Zsákos Hill (totally: 25 ha)
In the Omlás dűlő situated on the southern slope of the Felhegy-Zsákos Hill there are young plantations. The bedrock here until the depth of 150m is rhyolite-tuff detritus with perlite and piroclastite of which rhyolite-tuff islands emerge (i.e. in the Fejérföldű patch). The soil is variegated: here looser, there very hard clay with sandstone powder. The dip angle of this area is sometimes 25° which can only be cultivated with caterpillar tractor.
The estate section called Omlás dűlő today used to consist of a number of small plots before the unification and plantation operations of the Béres Vineyard the names of which were kept by the local tradition. As a sign of paying homage to the previous generations which cultivated this land we indicated these old names in our map.

3. Diókút Valley (totally 5,2 ha)
Due to the thermal springs as a result of the volcanic activity noble opal and glass stone minerals were created the remnants of which continuously come to the surface. The Diókút Valley is surrounded by a mountain and hills under the Baksa and Fejérföldű dűlő in the middle of which springs up the Diókút Well at a willow grove. The plantations are situated in the eastern part of the well in two patches.
Barkóczi
