Csetvei Cellar Winery: A Woman-Led Natural Winemaking Gem

Nestled in the picturesque wine-growing regions of Mor and Somlo, Csetvei Cellar Winery is a small, family-run establishment dedicated to crafting natural wines with passion and authenticity. Led by Krisztina Csetvai, a prominent figure in Hungary's new generation of winemakers, this winery is making waves in the world of viticulture.

Krisztina is celebrated for her bold and unconventional approach to winemaking, which sets Csetvei Cellar apart in the competitive landscape of Hungarian wines.

The Unique Vineyards and Soils

The vineyards at Csetvei Cellar benefit from the distinct soils of their regions: volcanic soils in Somlo and yellow soils in Mor. By practicing natural vineyard management without fertilizers or pesticides, the winery produces exceptional organic wines. Krisztina aims to elevate the Mor wine region's reputation on the global stage, showcasing the remarkable potential and quality of its fruit in her exquisite blended wines.

Crafting Distinctive Natural Wines

One of the standout creations from Csetvei Cellar is the NapHoldChillag, or SunMoonStar 19’ wine. This unique blend features three grape varieties: Chardonnay (the Sun), Szürkebarát (the Moon), and Ezerjó (the Star). The wine boasts a pale golden hue and an aromatic bouquet of toast, wet wood, chamomile, blood orange, and mushroom. On the palate, it is dry, full-bodied, and creamy, with flavors of toast, vanilla, lemon, and earthy notes. The finish evokes a serene experience, reminiscent of a summer day under the Sun, Moon, and Stars.
