Description

Story: With its first vintage in 1997, Kopar became the first fine wine brand in Hungary.

The subsequent period with its constant quest to improve upon its quality has made

it a benchmark on the Hungarian market. Over the years, it has garnered acclaim fromboth

professionals and the general public at wine shows on practically every continent.

The ever-increasing interest in Kopar,a testimony to its consistent quality, has made

it the winery’s flagship wine.

Only our best slopes are used and the grapes are harvested at different times when they are

at optimum ripeness. The different batches are fermented and matured separately so that

the base wines can be tasted and selected individually. Like a jigsaw puzzle put together

piece by piece, Kopar has and always has had a unique flavour profile, the Gere family’s

secret recipe. Although we strive to create a wine that can be consumed at an early age,

each vintage of this noble wine needs at least 10-15 years to express its greatness, then

comes the true complexity and depth that represents our original vision.

”The big surprise of the evening, however, was NO. 10. It was a 2000 Gere Attila Kopar,

a Bordeaux-style blend from Hungary. I had never heard of it, much less tasted it.

When a Hungarian red beats Pétrus in a blind tasting, you know the world of wine

is a gunslinger’s paradise.”

James Suckling, Wine Spectator, March 2005

Our flagship wine, A.GERE Kopar, has been selected for the prestigious reference collection

of the Cité du Vin in Bordeaux. As one of over 800 wines from 70 countries, its presence

in the world’s most iconic wine museum marks an important milestone for both our winery

and Hungarian wine.
