Rediscovering ancient Hungarian grape varieties through minimal-intervention winemaking
About the winery
József Szentesi comes from a Swabian family with roots in Budaörs, where his ancestors have cultivated grapes and made wine for generations. In 1998, he returned to his family heritage to recreate wines in the tradition of his forebears. Today, the winery manages 16 hectares with nearly 30 varieties, many of which are ancient Hungarian grapes dating before the phylloxera plague.
Over the past two decades, József and his family (his daughter and grandson) have dedicated themselves to reviving forgotten wines. Following a study visit to Burgundy, they embrace minimal intervention: no chemical treatments in the vineyard, spontaneous fermentation in the cellar, and bottling without filtration or fining. His efforts earned him the Hungarian Winemaker of the Winemakers Award in 2013.
