2018 was a warm vintage that brought the harvest to the earliest ever 30st of August. The excessive rain caused tropical like conditions that made the plant protection very challenging and naturally halved the entire yield
2019 was a colder year compared to ‘18 that resulted in linear feminin style of wine
2020 was a warmer vintage somewhere in between ‘19 and ‘20 with not a lot of rain. Resulted in thicker skin and lower juice to fruit ratio. What it means in the finished wines is that you will experience deeper and more diverse aroma profiles and rounder acidity.
2021 was cold, wet year with lot disease pressure naturally reducing the yield, resulting in mineral, linear focused wines with great ageing potential.
A powerful, richly layered Chenin Blanc that shows István’s deep affection for the Loire while remaining unmistakably shaped by the volcanic slopes of Szent György-hegy. This 2022 release comes from a later, riper harvest and reflects a style closer to his beloved 2020 vintage — broad, long, and complex, with a subtle oxidative edge that beautifully complements the wine’s intense fruit. The nose opens with ripe citrus oil, baked quince, white peach and almond cream, lifted by hints of lanolin and dried herbs. On the palate, the wine is full and expansive, with impressive length and texture. Notes of yellow apple, bruised pear, mandarin zest, and toasted nuts mingle with a lightly oxidative character, while a touch of volatile lift is already integrating gracefully. Chalky minerality and electric acidity tighten the finish, giving precision to this deep, gastronomic Chenin. A must-try for lovers of the richer, more oxidative Loire expressions.

The Chenin was harvested in three passes — 5, 8, and 12 September 2022 — from the vineyards surrounding the Vinotéka. After gentle whole-bunch pressing in a Scharfenberger pneumatic press, the must was transferred to a mix of second-fill Chassin and Boutes Soleil Burgundy barrels plus an old, well-seasoned 228 L barrique. Fermentation began strongly, then slowed, continuing under a thin veil of yeast (flor) until October 2023, with occasional topping only at key moments.
Following élevage in these smaller barrels, the lots were blended and moved in August 2023 into a 1500 L Garbelotto oak cask, where the wine rested undisturbed until bottling on 4 September 2024. No fining, no filtration, and no added SO₂ — allowing the wine’s ripe fruit, oxidative hints, and innate volcanic precision to shine with absolute honesty.
The wine opens with elegant and nuanced bouquet of ripe citrus, honeyed apricot, floral elderflower, and subtle smoky notes. Aged in amphora, it boasts a beautifully textured mouthfeel, balancing richness with vibrant acidity, while slight tropical hints of mango and pineapple add complexity.

Aries is István’s Riesling from old bush vines and it is a stunning expression of its terroir. The nose is floral and stone fruit-driven, with layers of white peach, nectarine, and delicate jasmine, all lifted by a subtle minerality. Aged in amphora, the wine presents a creamy mouthfeel that contrasts beautifully with its extreme tension and remarkable depth. Charming yet powerful, it showcases the potential for aging as long as you can resist not opening it, and without a doubt, it ranks among the most impressive Rieslings you’ll encounter.

The grapes are meticulously harvested during the Aries phase of the moon in September, a time believed to align with optimal expression. Following a slow, delicate whole-bunch pressing, the fruit is transferred to an amphora where it undergoes fermentation and maturation for a minimum of two years. Bottled unfined, unfiltered, and without the addition of SO2, this wine embodies a true, unadulterated reflection of its origins.
Fresh and fruit-driven, this young Kékfrankos opens with bright notes of raspberry, damson, and wild herbs, lifted by a touch of black pepper. The palate is light, juicy, and effortlessly drinkable, carried by a vibrant acidity that gives the wine its signature energy. There’s a purity and delicacy here that is unmistakably István — a gentle hand guiding a vivid expression of Badacsony’s volcanic soils. A joyful, elegant red that remains wonderfully approachable while hinting at the potential of this young vineyard.

This wine comes from the second harvest of a young 2017 plantation, composed of three Kékfrankos clones: the Austrian A4, the Ruszt-based Triebaumer selection, and a clone selected by the Szentesi–Losonci partnership. After a mid-September harvest, the grapes were hand-destemmed and fermented on the skins for eight days with extremely gentle extraction before being pressed in a pneumatic press. The wine was aged in two third-fill 228 L French barrels for 10 months, then bottled directly without fining, filtration, or the addition of SO₂.
A true masterpiece, perfect balance between layered red berried fruit and deep herbaceous notes. Each sip is like a mesmerising dream into a forest led by vibrant curiosity. Impossible not to reach for a second glass or bottle…

A lot of the vineyards in this region are bush-trained and cultivated by horses because no tractor can fit the narrow rows.
Clay instead of wax or foil
Oszkár’s obsession with ancient techniques combined with his rebellious attitude drove him to yet another invention - instead of plastic caps, or artificial waxes, he used clay to seal the top of the bottle. Probably the closest we ever get to the terroir from the comfort of our home.
The opening is as easy as a firm wax - drive the cross crew trough, pull the cork halfway, gently blow/wipe the clay that comes off, pull the cork and enjoy the wine
Vinification
70% of the grapes were de-stemmed and pressed directly the rest was macerated with the skins for a couple of days to enhance extraction and complexity.
After pressing the juice ferments and ages in large oak barrels and stainless steel. After about 8-10 months it is bottled unfiltered, unfined with a pinch of sulphur.
The wine opens with a flinty - wet stoney reduction - resonating the tension of the volcanic terroir. As it opens ripe peach, mango chutney and herbal mint notes float to the foreground. Offers multilayered concentration, a creamy texture long finish and a great depth on the palate with a masterful balance. To enjoy now or cellar for eternity

The grapes come from a single vineyard that was planted in 1969 with a tiny berried clone of Welschriesling.
After harvest in late October, the grapes are de-stemmed and fermented on the skins for 7 days in open vats. The juice then goes into a 1340L - large oak barrel that gets sealed with wax and left to rest for one year.
Bottled by gravity, unfined, unfiltered without the addition of sulphur.

VINIFICATION
Hand-harvested whole bunches are divided between small used oak barrels and stainless steel. The fruit is gently foot-stomped and softly pressed before a slow, natural fermentation lasting around six months. The wine rests further, completing approximately nine months of élevage before blending at bottling. Unfined, unfiltered and without additives.
A joyful yet precise Riesling — tropical in expression, mineral at heart, and built with clarity and restraint.
A finely detailed orange wine from Nahe, where elegance quietly defines every layer. The nose is delicate yet expressive — green strawberry and honeydew melon interwoven with fresh garden herbs and white blossom. Subtle hints of raisin and smooth cherry stone add depth, while a gentle tea-like note reflects its skin contact.
On the palate, it is textured yet poised, with a light tannic grip framing the fruit. The balance between freshness and phenolic structure is beautifully judged, giving clarity, lift and persistence without heaviness. Each flavour feels precisely placed, unfolding with quiet confidence and finesse.

The grapes for this wine come from the renowned village of Westofen. Hence this Riesling can be categorised in the German equivalent of the French “village” level. The grapes were hand harvested early to maintain the crisp acidity levels. Most of the grapes were pressed directly, to retain varietal purity, although one part has been fermented on skins to enhance the phenolic structure of the whole wine. They mature in large oval oak for 9 month on the lees, to enhance the longevity off the wines. Gets bottled without fining, filtration or the addition of sulphites.
A textured, characterful Grauburgunder that balances reduction and gentle oxidation with remarkable finesse. The nose opens with nuanced reduction and a beautiful oxidative tone — toasted almonds, hazelnut, and a creamy, almost Comté-like depth that recalls a lightly topped-up Jura white. Beneath it all runs a flinty, limestone-driven minerality. On the palate, it is layered and savoury yet vibrant, finishing with clarity and lift. Complex without heaviness, this is Pinot Gris with tension, salt and quiet confidence.

On the palate, it is precise and textural, balancing gentle orchard fruit with vibrant acidity and a quiet, chalky grip. There is both finesse and quiet depth here — a Pinot Blanc of clarity, tension and understated confidence.

A natural blend from biodynamic vineyards around Velm-Götzendorf, named after the village’s historic name "Velue." Grapes are hand-harvested and gently selected. The Riesling spends one day on skins, adding texture and phenolic grip, while Grüner Veltliner is direct-pressed for clarity and freshness. Muskateller sees just five hours on skins and stems, enhancing aromatics without overpowering the blend.
Fermentation is entirely spontaneous in stainless steel at 21–24 °C, preserving the wine’s purity and sense of place. Malolactic fermentation also occurs naturally, softening acidity and contributing roundness. The wine matures for a full year on its full lees with occasional bâtonnage, building texture, depth and subtle complexity while maintaining a clean, vibrant profile. Unfiltered, unadulterated, and crafted with precision.

The Syrah is gently destemmed and soaked for two days before pressing. The St.Laurent is fermented and aged in amphora for 12 months. The different vintages of St.Laurent are matured in steel tank in a solera system.
Bright, fresh and bursting with primary fruit, this juicy blend is all about vibrancy. Think crunchy red plum, tangy raspberry and wild berries, lifted by floral notes and a lively, mouthwatering zing. There's a subtle line of black pepper and spice in the background, adding a gentle kick beneath the fruit. Light on its feet, with soft tannins and pure, clean energy—an easy-drinking red that overdelivers on freshness and charm.

Vinification
Made from 80% Zweigelt and 20% Merlot grown biodynamically on loess and limestone soils in the Haidthal and Sonnberg vineyards. Grapes are hand-harvested and sorted with care. The Zweigelt is destemmed and undergoes 4 days of spontaneous fermentation, extracting vivid colour and fine tannins. Merlot is partially whole-bunch fermented for 5 days, contributing lift, floral tones and a hint of spice. The wine is then aged for 16 months in a combination of large oak barrels and stainless steel, preserving freshness while adding subtle depth. Unfined, unfiltered and naturally expressive.

The Trenning is the highest vineyard in the Wachau lying at a 550m altitude. The south exposer makes the viticultural viable on the otherwise cold, windy and dry territory. Due to the steep slopes it can only be cultivated by hand as no machinery is able to climb it. The usual gneiss base soil is enriched by graphite and some limestone resulting in higher acidity and a more feminine style.
