Story: Kadarka is the treasure of Szekszárd. We have been owning it for a long time and we love to think that our wine region gave proper home to the variety. We are lucky to have “a little piece of the Szekszárd of our grandfathers” – we have a nearly 100 year old Kadarka plantation.

Story: Thanks to the weather in 2015, we were able to pick our grapes on the 29th of September. The wine has the typical „Kadarka” tone in its colour,  and the charming nose is also characteristic of the variety. This wine with exciting and unique palate has an ageing potential of many years.

Story:  The photo was shot at harvest in 1935 and depicts the ancestors of the owner on the mother side. In the middle ‘Aszalai brother-in-law’ can be seen, who had been a peasant and became a wine merchant. He put on a tie even for a harvest! The leasure guy on the horse is another brother- in-law called ‘Szöszke’ – who is in fact the grandfather of the winemaker of Eszterbauer, Laci Pálinkás. And of course the wifes are there as well , and the girls from Gránicz family
– and one of them is the grandmother of the owner, János Eszterbauer.
