Vylyan Vineyard and Winery
WINE REGION VILLÁNY
Hungary’s most famous red wine growing region. In addition to the unique features of the terroir, the soul of the wines and the charm of this wine region is given by centuries-old wine tradition, the famous Villány cooperation, the faith and work of people living here. The hills run east to west, thus the vineyards are protected from the north wind. This region enjoys the highest number of sunny hours and the warmest average temperatures in the country. The limestone bedrock, with loess and clay topsoil makes a good base for producing wines with personality.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
We believe that the quality of wine is mainly determined by the grape. Fine wine can be made only with excellent grapes since we start with the fundaments even when building a house. We believe in nature, each other and ourselves. All of our knowledge and belief is embodied here. From the beginning, our goal is to make the best possible wine. The best of our knowledge represents the guarantee behind the wines bearing the Vylyan label as we are well aware that trust is of great value. We believe that all the care, love and care we “put into” wine will be experienced by the wine consumer, as well. We are confident that those who consume our wines (in moderation) will somehow become a better person.

Vylyan Macska 2023
In Villány wine region, Portugieser is a variety that can be found in every cellar. In the ‘Legend of the devil-plowed hill’ it is represented by the cat (‘macska’). We couldn’t live everyday life without it. A thirst-quenchingly fruity, nice, and easy-going wine that ‘purrs’ and flatters – a wine that feels good to drink every day! The varietal-specific red berries are characterizing this wine both on the nose and on the palate. Its tannins are soft and velvety.

Vylyan Ördög / Belzebub Cuvée 2021
ÖRDÖG is a blend of the classicus product range, named after the Devil in love in the traditional Villány legend. Energetic, thirst-quenching and full of vitality-this wine showcases vibrant fruitiness in the form of red stone fruits. Refreshing acidity, sporty structure and pleasant warm undertones characterize this wine.

Vylyan Kékfrankos 2022
Kékfrankos (Blaufrankisch) is one of our favourite varieties. Its explosively lively acids are embodied in the notes of freshly picked cherries supplemented by a touch of chocolate. A thirst-quenching wine for the lovers of the variety.

Vylyan Villányi Franc 2017
We are sure that Villányi Franc has a mission in the world. For us this wine represents the highest complexity that can be achieved from the Villány grapes. The variety has set its roots in the Villány soil and has found its home here forever. As have we. Villányi Franc is the embodiment of elegance and harmony.

Vylyan Montenuovo Cuvée 2021
This wine is a well-balanced blend with a golden mean between the full-bodied and the lively-fruity styles. Its bright, fruity upbeat is filled with diverse scents in which Bordeaux varieties come together in a harmonising accord completed with spiciness of the Syrah.
