Balatonfüred-Csopak

Hungary

Tramini

Like so many other stories in the life of an architect, our story started with a building: a villa in Balatonfüred.



The building, originally intended as a second home, came with a few rows of vines, and it was discovered that in the first half of the last century, Lajos Szabó, a restaurateur from Budapest, the villa's builder, had converted the lower level of the house into a wine cellar.

As a designer and builder of modern residential buildings, I felt a special desire to restore not only the original beauty but also the function of this villa built before World War II. So, while we were renovating the villa, I went back to school to learn about viticulture and winemaking, and not much later I bottled my very first wine, a Merlot. Soon the vineyards began to grow and within a few years we built Villa Gyetvai Wine Estate with vineyards on the outskirts of Tihany, Aszófő and Paloznak and a well-established, modern winery in the cellar of the villa.

Villa Gyetvai

White

One of our secret favourites. It's not a secret because we hide it, but because it's a lesser known fragrant grape variety in this country. But as the most beautiful Alsatian examples have long shown, Traminer can yield wines of great elegance. If you are looking for a unique alternative to a dry yellow Muscat or an Irsai, you have found it.
