Producer
János (“Jani”) Bolyki comes from a family with winemaking traditions, but he has completely re-invented winemaking at the family estate. Known for his interesting blends, wacky labels and friendly wines, Jani is a popular figure in the young Hungarian wine scene. His vineyards encompass 27 hectares of the Eger region, while the cellars are carved straight into the rock-face.
His wines follow the general wine making style of the region, but somehow, each of his wines have a fresh and lively character that make them feel a world apart from older Eger wines. His wines have a distinctly youthful and modern touch, putting a new twist on Eger’s classic style.
