Taschner – passionate for his homeland

István Kurt Taschner gets up early in the morning and rushes to the vineyard – this is the place where he really feels at home. He takes amazing photos of sunrise and sunset, and cares for his vines like his children.

Taschner believes in indigenous grapes, thus Kékfrankos (Blaufrankisch) and Zöld Veltelini (Grüner Veltliner) play important role in his winery along with less known varieties like ‘Korai Piros Veltelini’ (Frühroter Veltliner). At he same time István Kurt Taschner, owner and winemaker of Taschner Winery and Sparkling Wine House works with international varieties as well and he likes experimenting and doing things others do not practice. He is the only one who released his bottle fermented Chardonnay sparkling wine without being disgorged– to let the sommelier or the keen winelover do the disgorging himself. At the latest edition of VinAgora international wine contest Taschner Soproni Chardonnay 2019 received gold medal. The wine aged in used oak for 6 months, only 1300 bottles were made and its retail price is under 10 euros! A beautiful example of the variety with a hint of “Sopron character”.
