THE WINE-PRODUCINGREGION OF SZEKSZÁRD

HistoryOne of the Hungarian wine-producing regions with the richest tradi-

tions is the Szekszárd region. Albeit it’s roughly 2700ha vine-bearing

area places it among the smaller ones in Europe, historically it is

unquestionably one of the most important wine-producing regions of

Europe.

By the end of the 19th century, the Kadarka of Szekszárd represented

the top quality red wines. Interestingly, this vine-growing region is

among the few in Europe which survived the phylloxera blight with-

out any signifi cant damage. At that time, the French imported large

quantities of Szekszárd wines, as only this red wine had satisfi ed the

particular taste of nobility.

Today, this wine-producing region seems to undergo a revival, grow-

ing weightier in Hungary and gaining a stronger reputation world-

wide. We hope that soon it is our contemporary ambassadors from

whom we can quote words similar to those written by Franz Liszt, a

devotee of Szekszárd wines, in a letter 150 years ago: „I grasp every

opportunity to laud the unparalleled perfection of Szekszárd wine and

to avail to its popularity.” The words written by Pope Pius IX in 1865

about the Szekszárd wine: „this wine preserves my health and keeps

my spirits high” still apply.

Climate and soil conditionsThe uniqueness of the area comes primarily from climate and soil

conditions. Long winters and extreme, but dry summers, as well

as the quite thick loess stratum, create the ideal conditions for

vine-growing.

Atlantic, Mediterranean and continental elements, which infl uence

Hungary’s climate, meet here. The area is open to the east; therefore,

the warm continental currents travel freely to shape the character-

istic climate.

Soil structure features sandy, clay and rubble forest soil under thick

loess strata (some of which are as thick as 30 meters). This complex

soil lends to the rich spices and varied aromas, as well as the char-

acteristic and harmonious acids of Szekszárd wines.

TWICKEL WINE ESTATEAccording to the most recent information of the

Szekszárd Wine Guide, the Twickel Wine Estate

is one of the largest operating winery estates

in the Szekszárd wine-producing region, with a

vine-growing area of roughly 2700ha.

We believe that staying true to the utmost values

of nobility, and a mind-set bridging several gen-

erations, helps us to be a reliable and high quality

winery for a long time.

We make our wines with the deepest respect and

they help create the perfect moment once they

are opened: assisting a deep conversation, a ren-

dezvous, or evoking shared memories.

The history of the business operating on 200ha

can be traced back to 1993. Baron Georg von

Twickel’s mother, Mária Terézia, Countess Zichy,

came from the main line of the renowned Hun-

garian family of nobles, but was forced to leave

the country in 1956. She moved to Germany where

she met her future husband, Baron Clemens von

Twickel from North-Rhine Westphalia. Love for

her country and the Hungarians hadn’t faded in

the heart of Mária Terézia, Countess Zichy; af-

ter the regime change, they purposefully start-

ed to seek investment opportunities in Hungary

around the old Zichy estates. Both the Zichy and

the Twickel families have 700-year old ties with

agriculture, and the opportunities in the Sze-

kszárd vine-growing region excited their interest

instantly.

During the last decades, the winery had fi rst op-

erated under the name Liszt Winery, and then in

early 2010, it demerged from Szekszárd Zrt and

adopted the name Twickel Szőlőbirtok Kft. It is

our fi rm aspiration to attain a high quality and

maintain it for a long time.

Today Baron Georg von Twickel lives in the Ka-

jmád wilderness near Szekszárd, with his wife

and four daughters who now have their own roles

in the winery, having lent their names to our most

special wines.

THE WINERYOur vines are spread over excellent locations in the vine-growing

region. We attach special importance to viticulture, as we are well

aware that wine quality is decided out in the vine plantations. Our

vine-growing procedures combine tradition with modern technol-

ogy. This helps us reach our goal to preserve the character of the

wine-producing region and vine types in the wine. We follow the prin-

ciple of minimal intervention in the life of the wine as it develops. Our

essential task in treating the wine is to preserve the natural fl avours

inherent in the vine.

Our winery, located at the North entrance to Szekszárd, has a fer-

mentation capacity of roughly 4000hl for red wine and roughly 2500hl

for white and rosé wine. Our cellar system, cut into the hillside, hosts

150 barrels and 500 barriques aging our wines.

Our own bottling station has a bottling and labeling capacity of 2000

bottles per hour; thanks to this, we can reliably serve the demand for

the domestic and export market.

Vision of the future of the Twickel Wine Estate

In 2014, the Twickel Wine Estate renewed all the four of its wine fam-

ilies, placing greater emphasis on the standard Twickel brand name

as well. Our young team strives to build the brand purposefully both

on the domestic and export markets.

Thanks to the size of the wine estate, export quantity demands can

be served reliably. Moreover, our vines growing on our best lands are

used for making premium wines, which have found their way into cui-

sines in more and more countries. For years we have reliably served

our export partners with bulk wine tanks, as well as foreign restau-

rants that order a small number of bottles directly from us.

We are open to any new inquiry from foreign markets and we would

love to collaborate with distributors for our wines at excellent price

to value ratios. We pay attention to ensure that our partners have ad-

equate marketing support with our wines, and to make the excellent

Hungarian wines known widely.

The teaser products of the Twickel Wine Estate are the

members of the „Liszt” wine family. These wines refl ect the

character of the grape type and the Szekszárd vine-growing

region.

Franz Liszt was a friend and tutor to Count Geza Zichy, a

maternal ancestor of Baron Georg von Twickel. Count Geza

Zichy nurtured strong ties to music from his childhood, but

at the age of 14, he lost his right arm in a hunting accident.

Instead of succumbing to despair, the young count trained

himself to become a left-handed pianist. Franz List noticed

his talent and took the young piano virtuoso under his wing

and tutored him. Later, they gave several recitals together.

As a token of friendship, Franz Liszt composed his piano

work No. 456 specifi cally for left hand.

13

A soft golden yellow wine with Reseda aroma and green almond fl avours. We

Bikavér Szekszárd Dry Red 2012

The most well-known Cuvée wine from the historical vine-growing region of Sze-

kszárd is the Blaufrankisch and Kadarka-based Bikavér. Its ruby red colour is

paired with complex, long-fi nish fl avours. An ideal choice for red meat such as

veal and salmon.

Kadarka Szekszárd Dry Red 2012/2013

pair it with pork and mutton, at 14-16 °C.

THE LISZT

The gastro category of the Twickel Wine Estate is the Kajmád

wine family. Youthful, energetic wines form this family, where

the reserved barrique character and careful treatment of

the grape guarantee the excellent wine quality. The wine

family carries the special characteristics of the Szekszárd

vine-growing region, as well as the historical aristocratic

traditions. The name choice was not coincidental; presently

Baron Georg von Twickel lives with his wife and four daugh-

ters in the Kajmád castle near Szekszárd.

Sauvignon Blanc Szekszárd Dry White 2014

The colour of our most popular wine reminisces of summer wheat-ear, while its

aroma suggests cut grass, elderberry and almond fl ower. Properly chilled, it’s an

adequate pairing for any white fi sh and grilled vegetable meal.

Rosé Cuvée Szekszárd Dry Rosé 2014

Kajmád Rosé helps us experience genuine tropical waves at the end of the summer.

Its deep rosy colour and sour-cherry fl avour create a unique harmony in this wine. Its

harmony is at its best at 8 °C with salads, cheeses, and light paprika dishes.

Cuvée Szekszárd Dry Red 2011

This carefully selected Cuvée lights our days with its deep ruby red colour. Its

aroma reveals the Decs paprika, while its fl avours offer us a spectacular com-

plexity. Open it at 18 °C and pair with beef and pork alike for a fi ne experience.

Merlot Szekszárd Dry Red 2011/2012

This Merlot from the Bátaszék fi elds is harmoniously bodied with a long-fi nish

velvety creamy touch. Have it at 16-18 °C with red meat and grilled dishes for a

great experience.

mended at 14-16 °C with smoked and matured meat, hard cheeses and dishes

THE KAJMÁD

19

The premium collection of the Twickel Wine Estate is the

Gróf Zichy wine family, whose name was born out of Baron

Georg von Twickel’s respect for his mother. These wines are

made from grapes produced on the best positioned fi elds.

We make Gróf Zichy wines exclusively from the best vintag-

es of certain types. The low quantity per hectare is paired

with intensive grape selection and tender grape processing.

Wines are matured in the best barriques. Maturing in wood-

en casks takes at least twelve months, followed by maturing

in bottles for a long time before it takes its worthy place in

cuisine.

21

Blaufrankisch Szekszárd Dry Red 2012

This April marks the debut of our Blaufrankisch selection from the Zichy wine

family. With limited production and manual selection, we picked the grapes with

the highest potential. Its Bordeaux red colour evokes shades of episcopal purple.

Its aroma is dominated by strawberry, raspberry and Decs paprika. Its fl avours

are marked by wild strawberry, Cajun nuts and juniper, with a special almondy

green apple fi nish.

Syrah Szekszárd Dry Red 2012

The 4.5 ha Syrah plantation is located in the warmest fi elds of the spectacular

Bátaszék. This Zichy Syrah was born from the limited production vine-stocks

grown here. Maturing them in our nicest barriques, we took heed to balance

the best taste, the most brilliant fruit and most enjoyable barrique effect. When

these three features met, their marriage was bottled. Its deep cardinal red colour

is followed by an aroma of Eastern spices, dark chocolate and prune. Its harmo-

nious fl avour reveals wild strawberry, blue-berry and currants. Its long fi nish is

followed by a wonderful marzipan closing etude.

Merlot Szekszárd Dry Red 2011

The lightly inclining Farkasd fi elds of Bátaszék host the nicest Merlot plantation

of the Twickel Wine Estate. A strictly limited production is followed by a relatively

late harvest in the middle of October. The wine fermented to a complete dry-

ness is mostly matured in barriques and less in barrels. Maturing in barriques

highlights the high tannin content and leathery alcoholic taste, while the bar-

rel preserves its fruitiness. Its deep Bordeaux red colour is paired with aroma

dominated by raisins, Turkish honey and rosehip, followed by a fi nal aroma of

fl ap mushroom. Its fl avour combines dried apricots, hazelnut and thyme with a

medium fi nish.

THE GRÓF ZICHY

23

Good wines have a personality which can be empha-

sised by their names. This inspired us in our name

choice for our Baronesse wine family which encom-

passes our most special iconic wines. Irma, Tereza,

Filippa and Johanna are Baron Georg von Twickel’s

daughters. They lent their names to the top wines

of our winery; their exceptional character is shown

in that only the most extraordinary lots of our best

vintages can make it to this category. For roughly 10

years, we reached our third wine; in 2014 we bottled

an excellent Cabernet Franc bearing Filippa’s name.

The worthy ones are selected from premium wines

kept in 500 small barrels by periodic tasting. Practi-

cally, they are not available on the market; the Bar-

onesse experience can be enjoyed through the limit-

ed quantity available in the wine shop of our winery.

25

Baronesse Tereza Cuvée 2006

Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Cabernet franc types are married in excellent ratios

to make the fl agship wine of the Wine Estate, bearing the name of Baron Georg

von Twickel’s fi rst-born daughter. Its playful elegance seduces from the very fi rst

moment of tasting. It has an intensive and deep colour, while its aroma discretely

reveals the seductive, luscious spiciness of Syrah. Its fl avour suggests warmth,

charm and velvetiness. An extremely elegant wine with fi ne tannins and high

complexity, with great potential. A worthy companion for lighter venison (hare,

deer) and chocolate mousse, but it offers a spectacular experience by itself. Rec-

ommended at 14-16°C.

Baronesse Irma Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

This excellent selection Cabernet Sauvignon is a fl agship wine in our winery,

bearing the name of Baron Georg von Twickel’s second-born daughter. The grape

was harvested manually in the middle of October, carefully selected from the

Farkasd fi eld of Bátaszék with its outstanding characteristics. The healthy clus-

ters were placed in one of the gentlest fermentation tanks, where alcoholic fer-

mentation was controlled with the addition of a special yeast culture. Afterwards,

the wine was matured in fi rst-fi ll barriques for eighteen months, then bottled.

Baronesse Filippa Cabernet Franc 2011

The youngest member of the Baronesse family is the Filippa Cabernet Franc har-

vested in 2011. Its name honors Filippa, the third daughter of Baron Georg von

Twickel. It is made from grapes selected carefully as early as the harvest, treated

with particular attention all the way. Following a two and a half year maturing in

barriques, it is bottled for at least half a year before it acquires its fi nal brilliance.

Kept in barriques until the wood and fruit reached a perfect balance. As a thick,

powerfully alcoholic wine, but not ostentatiously so, Filippa is a perfect match for

our Baronesse premium wine family.

Baronesse Johanna

We still have to wait a few years before we see Johanna, but soon we will fi nd out

which types will make our next iconic wine.
