Thummerer Winery

The Thummerer Winery is a family enterprise that began in 1984 when we first started grape cultivation and wine making. We produce wines from our self-established, 100-hectare vineyard in the Eger wine region. There is a wide selection of varieties on our land. In our vineyard, we grow 80% black grapes and 20% white.

Every year we renew our technology with internationally recognized modern and superior quality equipment. This is true not only for our winery but also for our viticulture. Our main goal is to attain the highest quality so that we can create a specialty each year that will enhance our selection.

THE CELLAR

Our winery is located in Noszvaj, 12 km from the center of Eger. The 2,000 sq. meter cellar, which was once an estate manor, was carved out by hand from the volcanic tufa rock. We extended the old cellar with a new, 2,200 sq. meter cellar system that was also hewn from the volcanic tufa rock. The temperate and balanced climate of the cellar provides ideal conditions for wine aging.

TECHNOLOGY

We process the majority of the white grapes by reductive technology and directed fermentation, although white barrique specialties also appear in our selections. The red wines are ready after fermenting on the skin for 2 to 4 weeks, then aging in the traditional way for 1.5 to 2 years in oak barrels. The wines then spend at least an additional six months aging in their bottles before leaving the cellar.

AWARDS

We are proud of our wines that have been recognized with various awards from both local and international wine competitions.

  • The winery’s founder, Vilmos Thummerer won the „The Wine Producer of the Year, 1995.”
  • Thummerer Winery awarded “Wine Cellar of the Year 2011”
  • The most efficient Wine Cellar of Hungary according to the results of the 14. VinAgora Internatinal Wine Competition and the XXXIV. National Wine Competition in the year of 2013.
