Owner and winemaker János (Jani) Márkvárt was born in Szekszárd and grew up helping his grandfather in the family winery. Today he carries on the tradition of growing and making some of Szekszárd’s finest reds from 4.5 hectares of organic vineyards, including Kékfrankos, Zweigelt, Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, a Szekszárdi Bikavér – plus his speciality, old vine Kadarka.
Grower János Márkvárt Jr. represents the new generation of Szekszárd winemakers, rooted in tradition and focused on expressing the elegance and heritage of local varieties. His organically transitioning vineyards emphasize careful farming and minimal intervention winemaking.
The Szekszárd wine district, located in southern Hungary's Tolna County, lies between the Tolna-Baranya Hills and the Dunamenti Plain. Vineyards stretch along the eastern slopes from Szekszárd to Báta, on loess-rich soils ideal for black grapes. The region covers 6,001 hectares, with 2,116 hectares under vine. Its warm continental climate and minimal frost risk favor varieties like Kadarka and Kekfrankos Vineyards Grapes come from Jobbremete and Sauli-völgy, two highly regarded vineyard sites in the Szekszárd region. The vines are 80 years old and grown on loess soil, which imparts finesse and aromatic complexity. The vineyard is in organic and grapes are harvested by hand. Vineyard size: 1.1 hectares
