For seven generations, the family’s winemaking ancestors have passed down the knowledge from ancestors to descendants. Originally a forester, Attila Gere, the founder of the winery, received a small plot of vineyards from his father-in-law as a wedding present, and after 1989 he and his wife, Katalin, built up one of the most important and successful family wineries in the country. The business is now being led to further success by the next generation, their daughter Andrea and her husband Kristóf.
The vineyards are located on some of the best sites in Villány, such as Csillagvölgy, Konkoly, Ördögárok and Kopár – the latter being the warmest vineyard in the wine region and always harvested first. Healthy grapes are essential for high quality wine, which is why the vineyards have been organically farmed since 2010. The result is high quality, healthy, chemical and stress-free, nutrient-rich fruit and wines of he utmost purity. Perfectly ripe, hand-picked grapes from organic vineyards are processed using the most gentle and modern technology available. The wines are fermented with the winery’s own selected local yeast culture and then aged in Hungarian oak barrels.
