“Creation, care, thoroughness, values, protection, persistence, love, joy, beauty, charm, simplicity, feeling, understanding, uniqueness” (Csaba Zsirai 1961-2011)
These are the principles that guided Csaba Zsirai when founding the winery and help the family as it strives to fulfil his dream, his heritage. The love of nature and naturalness, protection of values and respect for Hungarian wine led him as he became a vineyard and cellar owner and started on his way thanks to which today we make wines in three important wine regions in Hungary.
At the beginning winemaking was in the hope of escape from monotonous office work and has today grown to be a winery with a total of 18.5 hectares of vineyards in several wine regions.
It can be said that we are working on creating “Hungaikums”: in all three wine regions we are experimenting with indigenous grape varieties in danger of being forgotten as well as the most appropriate method of cultivation for the variety.
The belief of the father is currently being taken forward by his daughters Kata and Petra, who keep it alive with the help of their mother and a few employees – who tend to be helping friends –, striving to establish a worthy memorial to him.
