Thinking out of the box in Badacsony

A Dutchman producing wine in Belgium and winning Gold for his Crémant.

It may make many people smile, but from now on, I am going to compare Burgundies with Clos d'Opleeuw and not vice versa.

Their ‘homemade’ wines were soon winning medals at international competitions, such as Concours Mondial.

A story about wines, people and a country, which is, as we already know, only held together by the king, beer, chocolate and football.

The story began with a Hungarian family directing the wine life of Arad, thanks to the difficulties of selling books...

Suddenly, during dinner, a deep hum gaining in volume can be heard from one of the tables. At first, it seems to be some kind of noise, but later we could definitely hear multiple voices. Men are singing. 

The winery is among the smaller ones by its size, but this fact makes possiblefor it to focus on the quality of wines.

It is an ultra-modern, concrete and glass, Californian styled winery, which was an idea of a Jesuit priest. At least partly.

The winery, founded in 2008, farms 50 hectares within two Slovakian wine regions (Nitra and Strekov), from which they produce wine from 17 different grape varieties.

The winery founded in 1933 is the largest in Slovakia, with its annual production of 5 million bottles.
