Homola: the most loved brand of a “speed dating” session
Meet Homola at Wine Paris and ProWein
At the last edition of Winelovers Wine Awards international competition, the organisers launched a Buyers’ Program, which proved to be successful. More than a dozen importers / distributors were speed dating with the participating wineries, each encounter had to be done within 10 minutes. Half a year has passed, the organisers surveyed the buyers, and it turned out that the most successful winery was Homola Winery from Balatonfüred–Csopak wine region, Homola shipments have left–among others–to Taiwan and the USA.

Fruits of the unique red soil
Zsombor Gál export manager always carries a piece of soil with him, a fistful of the red soil typical of Balatonfüred wine region. However, their terroir is not as simple as that, basalt tuff, marl and clay also play roles. Many of the wines are unfiltered and unfined. The portfolio includes refreshing white summer wines and complex, varietal white and red wines of both international and indigenous varieties. A bottle fermented sparkling wine is made of Furmint.
