Introduction

Our first wine was Kadarka, and the most beautiful parcel on the outskirts of Hajós became our favourite place to spend our free time. The old vines, the wonderful environment enchanted us quickly and soon became obvious that we imagine our future here, in our birthplace. It was the beginning of our twenties, those times we were attending the University of Horticulture, but at weekends we were hurrying home to cultivate the vineyard and we were looking for new parcels to buy. So today we can harvest grapes from 8,5 hectares. Most of our estate has a loess-clay subsoil, and the topsoil is very heterogeneous. We practice careful viticulture and management of the land. The whole Sziegl vineyard has been operating controlled organic farming for 3 years. We believe that each grapevine has a story, and we laboriously hand-tend each vine to help it tell that story. We use strict controls to limit production. The vine varieties we want to grow on our estate are the following traditional types.
