Szent István Korona wine collection has been solely created to meet these market demands. The plantations in the Etyek-Buda wine region and the modern reductive technology provide and ideal basis. The head viticulturist’s young enthusiasm, international experience and his astonishing dedication to good Hungarian wine are reflected in his creations.
