Csányi Pincészet Zrt #104
The beginnings
Our winery was founded by the savior of Hungarian viticulture, the famous viticulturist, Zsigmond Teleki in 1881, whose name got famous in Europe during the phylloxera epidemic. While most of the wine makers were busy saving their harvest from blackflies, Zsigmond Teleki chose the different way and invented new grape varieties, disease resistant even to the phylloxera. His spiritual heritage has been determining our estate regarding both our future objectives and everyday practices. The winery has gone through many changes since then, and nowadays it is a massive production plant with its own vineyards- 400 hectares and its own brand, called Teleki.
The Villányi Wine Region
The wines of the Villány Wine Region are considered to be both of excellent quality and of commercial success by experts and consumers. Even the first full origin protection system of Hungary was developed out here. While the nature around is truly beautiful, the wine remains the best attraction of the whole region. Villány has a unique microclimate. It rivals that of Bordeaux. The Villány Mountains protect the plantations from strong winds, and mild temperatures provide excellent conditions for the rich in loess soil. Taking into account all of these details, most of the vineyards produce red grapes.

Reviews
Serious, elaborate, beautifully matured champagne that turns even the harshest day into a holiday. It can be well paired with salmon dishes, seafood, but is also a worthy companion to a matured ham.
You may feel the taste of raspberries, strawberries, currants, light, and the final flavor of the grapefruit, which perfectly fits this wine. Straight-lined, easy to understand, no need to think about any other sparkling wine for summer. It’s really good, once you drink it, immediately hold your glasses to refill them.
Immediately after the opening, we could taste almost only the vanilla and the barrel spices, but after a little spinning, the world of wild cherries and sweet spices was already well visible. The fruitiness remained even until the next day, but the flavor of black currant also appeared in the taste, and the wine became even smoother, easier to drink. The tannins are soft, but the alcohol content is quite high, warming.
