A piece of our hearts.

“How might the wine for the Archbishop of Esztergom have been made?
We would like to show it today.”

Even the first reference to our village appearing in the written records from the year of 1075 was about grapes. The Hungarian king, Géza I, donated 7 vineyards, 5 vine-dressers, and 2 plots of land to the Abbey of Garamszentbenedek. Our settlement, lying along the foot of the Pilis mountain, has a rich history. Through our wines, we wish to further enhance the good reputation of this village.
The place where your heart calms down.

“How many hoes may have been worn away here?”

Mysterious fog in spring, radiating heat in summer on the sides of the rocks of Pilis. A rich place for wine production at an altitude of 340 meters. The roots of the vine build the taste and flavour of the fruit from the depths of the ground. We may wonder, “how many hoes may have been worn away here?”
A bench, a table. Relaxation. The tower of the church in front of our eyes. Tranquillity. Superb panorama. Peacefulness.
With heart and soul.

“We live together with the grapes.”

14 hectares, varieties of white grapes, 30 year-old vineyards. Viniculture is not a conventional type of activity. The grapes present constant challenges. As solicitous masters of the land, we walk among the vines, and so we gain deeper knowledge of our vineyards. Using our own hands, we develop the physical condition and proportions of the vines, which plays a crucial role in the prevention of illnesses. We are also pathfinders: to the best of our knowledge, we desire to show the complexity of this place through the cultivation and production processes.

„Wine. Landscape. Experience. Heart..."

Young dynamism, traditional values. Our aim is to present the complexity and richness of the region where our wines are produced. Our winery is a small, family-owned venture. We have been dealing with viniculture and wine production for generations. The knowledge and experience of our father live in us. We always ask him for his opinion. Is it possible that he is too soft-hearted to us?

With pleasure from the bottom of the heart!

“What is a great difficulty in viniculture is that you have only one chance in a year.”

Our wine press with a wooden beam from 1867 is still operating – this is the special, unique feature of our wine cellar.
Upon entering, you can immediately see that our cellar is living: the pleasantly cool air of the cellar, the sweating limestone, and silky mould can all be found here.

Merlot 2015

The beauty of this variety lies in the ease with which it can be identified, making it one of the most lovable types of red wine. Having been aged in oak barrels for over a year , a mature bouquet of dried cherries is paired harmoniously with smooth flavours on the palate. Tasting notes : soft tannins with a beautiful lingering finish. True love....
