Pécsdevecser Villány wine district Founded in 2002
Biodynamic, organic natural wines from Villány – handcrafted, vegan, and low in sulphur
About the winery
Ralf Waßmann, a German beverage scientist, and Susann Hanauer arrived in Hungary in 1998 and discovered the charm of the Villány-Siklós wine region. They founded WASSMANN Pince Bt. in 2002, and in 2011 became the first biodynamic winery in South Hungary. All wines are Demeter-certified and officially recognised as organic by Hungarian authorities.
Guided by biodynamic philosophy and ecological sustainability, the vineyards are tended by hand using Rudolf Steiner's biodynamic preparations. The estate produces natural, vegan wines without artificial yeasts, bacteria, or chemical additives. Fermentation occurs spontaneously, and wines mature for 8–18 months in used barique barrels before being bottled unfiltered, with minimal sulphur addition.
The terroir of Villány is beautifully expressed in every bottle, reflecting distinctive grape varieties, local geology, and climate. Award-winning wines have gained international recognition, and the estate ships throughout the EU, as well as to Sweden, Finland, and Canada.
