Growing Conditions
The Heumann’s now have 10 own ha plus have rented additional 5 ha, situated mainly in the Siklós sub-region. Most of the vineyards are either south-exposed or are situated on a plateau. 95% have the premium status of the DHC Villány.
Villány-Siklós which is regarded as Hungary’s best red wine area. Climate is continental with Mediterranean influence. Due to terroir the region is perfectly suited for red varieties. Cabernet Franc besides the more local Kékfrankos (aka Blaufraenkisch) is regarded the flagship grape that has perfectly adapted to the terroir. Both varieties result in outstanding wines. For different international wine experts (e.g. Jancis Robinson, MW; Michael Broadbent) Villány-Siklós produces the best single varietal Cabernet Francs worldwide.
