The Winery

The Hummel Winery in Villány, Hungary, was founded in 1998 by Horst Hummel.

Following a restructuring in 2023, it now has 2.5 hectares of vineyards planted with Hárslevelü, Furmint, Portugieser and Merlot. Other wines are produced from grapes sourced from outside the estate.

The estate has been managed according to the principles of organic viticulture since 2008. It has been certified organic since 2009. Since 2020, the estate has been managed according to the principles of Natural Synergistic Winegrowing (NSW) developed by Horst Hummel.

Our wines undergo spontaneous fermentation. Depending on the variety, the white wines are fermented on the skins for 3–20 days and then matured on the lees in tanks or used barriques. The red wines are fermented in open fermentation tanks with gentle extraction and subsequently matured on the lees in tanks or used oak barrels of varying ages and origins.

It is the winery’s stated aim to produce authentic, distinctive wines full of character, using healthy, high-quality grapes from Naturally Synergistic Viticulture (NSW), without any additives, which reflect the essential characteristics of the grape variety, the soil and the unique Villány climate.
