Our family business has been producing wine barrels since 1954 in the Tokaj region, known for its extraordinary wines. While staying true to the old hungarian cooper traditions, we strive to satisfy the needs of modern wine-growers. We produce, hungarian type barrels of traditional sizes, ranging from 25 litre to 1600 litre capacity, including the special „gönci” and „szerednyei” barrels, used as standards of measurement in the middle ages.
The changes in hungarian wine-growing brought reforms in barrel making. Our firm began the production of french barrique barrels in 1995. Amongst others, we make 228 and 300 litre burgundy barrels, as well as the 225 litre bordeaux type. The exceptional quality of the wine made in our Tokaj region is partly due to the vulcanic mountain soil and the regional microclimate in which the grapes are grown. This is why the raw materials we use for our barrels is exclusively from the indigenous sessile oak, "Quercus Petraea". These trees, found in the higher, northern tracts of the Zemplén mountains, are felled when they reach 110-120 years of age. These oaks grow slowly, the annual rings packed tightly. The quality is excellent, as shown by the frequent orders from french coopers.
