Szigeti

WINERY OVERVIEW Modern day Szigeti (pronounced ZIG-it-ee) was born in 1990, when brothers Norbert and Peter Szigeti returned to their hometown of Gols, Austria to take over the family business. Past generations had produced small quantities of wine in their village in a traditional mixed agriculture system. Norbert trained in enology and worked in a large sparkling wine firm in Vienna, while Peter completed hotel management school and worked both in Austria and abroad. The brothers combined their skills and increased knowledge of the market beyond their village to open the Sektkellerei (“sparkling cellar.”) Through traditional bottle fermentation, Szigeti seeks to produce “unmistakable fizz” with unique character. LOCATION OF VINEYARD Szigeti produces wine from a number of small farms on both sides of Lake Neusiedl in Burgenland. They work closely with the growers to ensure reliable and quality grapes that have been grown without chemical interventions.
