Story of the Wines

We have read by Hugh Johnson that the best Portugieser comes from Villány, so we set off to find out. We fell in love with the wine region: three days after arriving in Hungary we bought a winery and ended up settling down here. Back then, we didn’t even think there is another variety we could say the same about Cabernet Franc! In Villány it achieves outstanding quality. "Cabernet France has found its natural home in Villany" as Michael Broadbent described in English Decanter magazine in 2000.
