Gere Attila Winery

Introduced by Swabian settlers in the 18th century, this red grape variety, which usually produces a light wine, has become a true classic of the region. Aged in large barrels, it has a clean, fruity nose and palate, with a fine acidity structure. It is an easy-to-understand, fresh red wine with typical cherry and sour cherry notes. The wine shows its true colours 1-2 years after harvesting. Best served slightly chilled.

A DHC premium quality wine, this is one of the most balanced offerings of the wine region. Thanks to the Villány terroir, the harvests show such consistency that the wine can be produced in nearly all vintages. Medium to full-bodied, it shows almost the entire spectrum of red and blue berries, depending on the vintage. The perfect finishing touch is provided by the notes from the small second-fill barrels.

A medium-bodied cuvée in which local and international varieties combine to create a complex, yet easy to like red for every occasion, for every taste, for everyone. With its lively, easy-drinking style and well-balanced notes of red fruits and spices Athus is the perfect example of an everyday wine craftedin the Villány wine region. An excellent all-rounder, it goes well with tomato-based pizzas, pasta, mild Indian dishes and, last but not least, Hungarian cuisine.

Fekete Járdovány is a forgotten variety from past centuries that was revived by Attila Gere. The vines used for grafting were taken from the graft bank of the local research institute. After almost 10 years of work, the first vintage of 2011 was born. We love the elegant and vibrant fruit, the fine tannins and the lively acidity, whose special harmony makes this wine unique. We use a short ageing period in 300-litre second-fill small oak barrels, so that the subtle spices blend beautifully with the modern style we envisioned. Research by Dr José Vouillamoz, the world’s leading grape geneticist, has shown that the variety is unique and not related to any other known variety. To our knowledge, this is the only commercially available bottling of Fekete Járdovány in the world.

Experimentation has resulted in something truly unique, a Tempranillo from Villány. With a style reminiscent of Spanish Gran Reserva wines, our Tempranillo comes across as a real fruit bomb thanks to the low temperature fermentation and the restrained use of second-fill barrels. With soft, ripe tannins and soft acidity, this is a wine of remarkable depth.

Villányi Franc is the embodiment of elegance and harmony. Thanks to the terroir, the perfectly ripe grapes, the strict selection and ageing in small barrels, a special, rich and complex single-vineyard wine was born. The low yielding grapes were harvested in mid-October, the juice was fermented with our own selection of yeasts and the wine aged for 18 months in new 300 litre Hungarian oak barrels. The result is a concentrated and full-bodied 100% Cabernet Franc that is the genuine reflection of the variety’s potential, the unique character of the vineyard and the silky style of Villány red wines. Two single vineyard wines, released on the market in alternation. Two neighbouring plots, two similar styles, both showing the unmistakable signs of great wines. The Csillagvölgy selection is vibrant and youthful, while the Ördögárok selection is sophisticated and refined. Both are ripe, pure and concentrated, with great ageing potential, reflecting the character of two amazing vineyards, unadulterated Villány Francs!
