Winemaker

Centered around a baroque-style chateau, the Szent Gaál winery encompasses 23 hectares of prime vineyards across three parcels, each with its own unique character. Traditional red grape varieties are cultivated in areas most suited to their temperament, benefiting from the variety of soil types and subtle differences in micro-climate present throughout the Szekszárd wine region. Under the careful supervision of female winemaker Ilona Posevitz, the grapes are harvested by hand and vinified using traditional methods, creating approachable wines which bring the warmth and kindness of the region and its people to your table.

Recipe Ideas

Goulash (Gulyas) is the most famous Hungarian dish in the world and one of the country's national dishes. This is a very traditional beef goulash recipe made with simple ingredients like meat, peppers and root vegetables elevated to perfection by the use of Hungarys most famous spice: paprika.

Lecso is an ancient dish originally from Serbia, and a great summer meal when all the ingredients are in season and you want to eat something a little lighter. Lecso is very versatile, it can be a great vegetarian dish while adding sliced Hungarian sausages (kolbasz) would make this a one pot main course. You can also serve it as a side dish to roast meats, especially pork, while any left-overs can be had for breakfast by adding a couple of eggs to the prepared Lecso.
