Introduction

It all started with Pinot Noir. This was the wine that first captivated me – so much so that I never grew tired of it. There is no other grape variety with such a multitude of expressions. It has the unique ability to be both profoundly complex and truly great while maintaining its vibrancy and refined elegance. I have never experienced this duality in any other grape variety. I wouldn’t even call Pinot Noir a true red wine – it’s so delicate that, if tasted from a black glass, one might even mistake it for a white. Pinot Noir was the first grape I planted, and it was also my first purchased vineyard. Today, we have ten hectares of it in the Badacsony wine region. The remaining four hectares are shared between Syrah, Kéknyelű, Vulcanus, and Viognier. At our winery in Nemesgulács, we strive to create the finest wines from the harvested grapes with minimal intervention. Our range spans from fresh, reductive styles to complex, benchmark Burgundian-inspired expressions, and from still to sparkling wines.
