As a family with deep roots in Szekszárd, they have always owned vineyards.
In the early 1970s, their grandparents managed to buy an excellent piece of land in the Cinka vineyard with its own press house and cellar.
In this area, contrary to Szekszárd tradition, 80% of the grapes were white varieties (Olaszrizling), which remained dominant until 1998.
At that time, a 3.5 ha area was purchased, where only red varieties were grown.
In 2006 a further 10 ha was added to the current estate structure and today the emphasis is more on red wines, but they don't forget their roots and produce a variety of styles of white wine, including of course Olaszrizling from Grandfather's vines.
They are constantly converting their vineyards to organic. Their wines are made in the traditional way - spontaneous fermentation, without additives - and using the most modern technology.
"We strive to make our wines reflect the Szekszárd terroir, variety and vintage."
