Colonia 52
Annamária and Attila are still young but have already years of experience in winemaking behind them. For example, they have worked for Gut Oggau, Heinrich and Michael Gind since 2016 and are good friends with Franz Strohmeier, Horst Hummel and Sepp Muster, big names in vin nature. The experience is not small.
Seen & learned a lot and in our opinion also a lot of talent. It didn't take long before their own winery was founded: Kolonia 52. The name comes from the place where the couple made their first cuvée together: a small cellar on Kolonia Street n. 52 in Villányi. The wines of Annamária and Attila are very impressive, energetic, clean and beautifully balanced, which is not easy for everyone.
New Wave
The land around Lake Balaton is very expensive. However, Annamária and Attila managed to acquire a piece of land, thanks to an older couple who were charmed by the idea and decided not to sell the land to the highest bidder. Together they renovated the winery, restoring the old vines and planting new ones. The estate came back to life and immediately produced beautiful wines.
The orchards are located around the Szent György-hegy, a hill north of Lake Balaton, just outside the tourist area. A diverse and rural landscape where volcanic deposits such as basalt, thick limestone layers, sand and clay alternate.
Kolonia 52 is a new-wave wine company from Hungary that is refreshing and reviving the wine country. Every year we get a modest allocation that is more than welcome in the Netherlands!
