Introduction

Christian Sauska was born in a small village of Somberek near Villány, but his true passion for wine began with a bottle of 1966 Bordeaux. He was educating his palate, developing a passion for fine wines from around the world. In the late ’90s, after meeting wife Andrea, he decided to start making wines of his own. He could have started this venture anywhere, but he had maintained strong ties to Hungary and wanted to leave a legacy for his children, Christian, Stefanie, and Miki. Moreover, he wanted to create world class dry wines, equal in quality and stature to both the sweet Tokaji Aszú for which Hungary is famous, and to the Bordeaux which had initially inspired his interest; wines that respected the terroir of their respective regions, and in keeping with his engineering background, utilized the latest technology to do so. To achieve this goal he has enlisted the help of world-class consultants, to guide the Sauska-team, comprised of some of Hungary’s finest home-grown talent.
