About us
Simigh Family Winery, Gyönk
Tolna Wine Region
Our family-owned and operated winery produces grapes on a 5 ha vineyard. With its favourable location on top of a hill the wind’s sweeping down valley and we are lucky to enjoy the beneficial effects of the sunshine increasing quality and providing a healthy environment from sunrise to sunset. The vineyard’s soil is of black earth (chernozem), which is one of the best soils in Hungary. Between 1998 and 2000 we planted 3,5 ha of Cabernet sauvignon. Our elder vines are Blaufränkisch, Merlot and Zweigelt. Our white varieties are Grüner Velteliner and Chardonnay.
For over 30 years our family has grown some of the finest grapes in Tolna Wine Region and has produced quality wines. We use reductive winemaking technology for our white and rosé wines.
Our Cabernet Sauvignon rosé wine gained particular popularity. It has also been nationally recognized with some gold medal awards.
We strive to preserve the fresh, fruity notes. We organize a special “rosé harvest” to retain a decent acidity. In 2015 our Rosé achieved an outstanding result at the “Le Mondial du Rosé”, the international challenge of rosé wines where it was awarded a gold medal. IN 2016 we have received silver medal at Vinagora, the main international wine challenge organised in Hungary.
Our red wines are aged in barrels. Fruity notes of ripe red berries with a slight spiciness are typical for our Cabernet Sauvignon.
Családunk mintegy ~5 ha- os szőlőültetvényen gazdálkodik. Kedvező, dombtetői fekvése miatt a szél jól járja és a napsütés jótékony, minőséget növelő és egészséges környezetet biztosító hatása napkeltétől napnyugtáig érvényesül. Az ültetvény talaja feketeföld (csernozjom), mely a legjobb termőtalajok közé tartozik. 1998 és 2000 között 3,5 ha Cabernet sauvignon-t telepítettünk. Az öreg tőkéink Kékfrankosból, Merlot- ból és Zweigeltből állnak. Fehér fajtáink Chardonnay és Zöld veltelini.
Közel 30 éve foglalkozunk minőségi bor előállítással. Fehér és Rosé borainkat reduktív technológiával készítjük. Fehér boraink Zöld veltelini és Chardonnay.
Különösen nagy népszerűségnek örvend Cabernet sauvignon rosé borunk. Több országos borversenyen is arany érmet szerzett számunkra. Törekszünk a friss gyümölcsös jegyek megőrzésére, ehhez külön „rosé szüretet” tartunk. 2015- ben kiemelkedő eredményt értünk el a Rosé borok világbajnokságának nevezett „Le Mondial du Rosé” versenyen, amelyen arany minősítést kaptunk. 2016- os évben a legnagyobb Magyarországon rendezett nemzetközi borversenyen a Vinagorán kaptunk ezüst minősítést.
Vörösboraink hordós érlelésűek. A Cabernet sauvignonra jellemző érett piros gyümölcsök jegyei érezhetőek a borban.
