Sauska

Sauska is a fairly young winery, founded in 2006, and is the result of an unbridled passion for a beautiful product: Hungarian wine. The special thing about Hungary is that different wines are produced in different parts of the country. For example, Tokaj in the east is especially known for its white and dessert wines, produced from Furmint. Villány, in the south of the country, on the other hand, is known for the production of beautiful red wines. The unique aspect of Sauska is that they have a winery in three locations: in Tokaj, in Villány, and in Budapest. In the latter, some of their sparkling wines are produced!

A central theme at each winery and vineyard of Sauska is sustainability. For 15 years, they have had an important goal to protect and even enhance the biodiversity in the vineyards. They plant various types of flowers and shrubs between the vines to encourage different insects and small animals to thrive. Weeds are prevented by laying a thick layer of straw between the vines, which doesn't allow them to grow due to the lack of light. Since 2018, they have released Southdown Babydoll sheep into the vineyards. These miniature sheep with short legs are a natural pest control: they keep the vegetation between the vines in check but are too small to reach the grapes! What is high, however, is their cuddle factor.
