Hajós Hajós-Baja wine district Founded in 2012
Organic farming, natural wines – every bottle is unique
About the winery
Petra and Balázs began the Sziegl Wine Cellar story in 2012 with a vineyard parcel received as a gift in Hajós. They work exclusively with organic farming methods across their vineyard holdings, where old vines and traditional varieties produce concentrated, characterful wines. Kadarka was their founding wine, but Kövidinka, Olaszrizling and Kékfrankos receive their greatest emphasis. All their wines are produced in limited quantities, often as vineyard-specific selections.
Experimentation drives their passion – through trial wines and different production techniques, they create interesting flavour profiles. They work in three traditional press-houses in the world's largest wine cellar village, crafting natural wines without additives. Their wines tell the story of their terroir and the winemaker's personality. Wine tastings take place directly at the cellar or in their culture garden, where they offer locally-sourced cheese and wine pairings prepared from neighbourhood ingredients or their own production.
