Since 1897
Our story
A cellar older than the village school, vines that survived two wars, and a family that came back.

Fictional story for this demo.
From vine to glass
The vine
Kadarka, Fetească Albă and Mustoasă, some planted by the founder's grandfather. Clay and limestone, morning mist rising from the Mureș valley.
The harvest
Every bunch is picked by hand in September and October, in the cool morning hours, and sorted twice before it reaches the press.
The cellar
A brick cellar from 1897 keeps 14 °C all year round. Our reds rest 18 to 36 months in Hungarian and Romanian oak.
The glass
Then we wait. A wine leaves the cellar only when it tastes like the place it came from.
The winemaker
“A good wine is not made. It is allowed to happen.”
Ana grew up in the village, studied in Montpellier and worked harvests in Tokaj and the Wachau before she came home. She makes wine with as little interference as possible and lets each year taste like itself.
