About the winery
Szemes Pincészet has been producing wine since 1995 as a small family winery. Led by József and supported by his family, they produce 35,000–40,000 bottles annually. The winery is located in the heart of Villány, beside the Villány Event Center.
Wine production runs in the family since the 1970s. They currently manage 5.5 hectares of vineyards, mostly in renowned vineyard plots of the Villány wine region: Kopár-dűlő, Remete-dűlő, Jammertal-dűlő, and Csillagvölgy-dűlő. In 2019, technological upgrades doubled their processing capacity and enabled the production of even finer wines.
