Wassmann Biodynamic Wines Villány

WASSMANN biodynamic natural wines Villány.

2 hectares – 2 men.
Less is more.

Our south-facing vineyards lie in the Villány wine-region, the southernmost Hungarian
wine-growing area and the most significant one to produce red wine in the country.
Our 100 years old traditional cellar is situated in Pécsdevecser, an old, small village with only 70 habitants.

We founded our wine-estate in 1998 and have been running it together – only two of us – since then.
We = Ralf Waßmann, who studied beverage sciences in Geisenheim (Germany) and
Susann Hanauer, who was a lawyer and has a WSET Award II.

Our vineyards cover 2 hectares, planted with Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Kékfrankos and Merlot.

In 2003 our business became the first one in Villány to be recognized as organic wine growers, according to the EU guidelines for ecological agriculture.
And we have had biodynamic DEMETER certification since 2011.

All of our wines are absolutely handcrafted, vegan, unfined and unfiltered, only sulfured as much as is absolutely necessary to maintain the fruity, elegant character of the wines. Apart from this minimal sulfur, we do not use any other substances or additives.

We have an exciting story, we emigrated from Germany in 1998 just to finally be able to found our own organic wine estate.
And our wineregion Villány itself has an exciting history too, it was world famous before the world wars, has been waiting for its rediscovery since the fall of the wall and is still an insider tip outside of Hungary. In addition, European viticulture was saved here from phylloxera, because this is where Teleki Zsigmond lived, who was the first to successfully graft vines on american roots.
