Hungarian wineries work with faith, perseverance, and loyalty, keeping up with changes in technology and consumer habits, and thanks to this, Hungarian wine has been able to further strengthen its reputation in the world – the Ministry of Agriculture (AM)’s State Secretary for Agriculture stated on Tuesday at the presentation of the Winery of the Year award, which this year went to the St. Andrea Vineyard.

According to the AM’s Tuesday statement, Imre Hubai spoke at the festive event that at the St. Andrea winery, the family is not only the background and support, but also a multi-generational success story. It is a rich source that is full of constructive energy, knowledge, and the will to do. This invisible, yet lively ingredient has rightfully elevated György Lőrincz and the wines of the St. Andrea winery to the greatest on an international level. At the same time, it has further strengthened the centuries-old good reputation of the Eger wine region, he added. According to the statement, the Secretary of State highlighted that this year’s award, the Winery of the Year in Hungary, is a clear recognition that success in Egerszalók is not just a momentary state, but the result of long-term and complex work.

Their winemaking philosophy focuses on site-centered winemaking, vineyard selection and high-quality (Superior, Grand Superior) blends. Imre Hubai explained that thanks to government subsidies, almost 28 million euros will be available in the Common Agricultural Policy Strategic Plan this year, and a total of about 112 million euros for the 2024-2027 period. Support for the restructuring and conversion of vineyards can be applied for in these very weeks. Applications can be submitted until August 15. The submission of investment subsidies has been scheduled for the post-harvest period, and these requests will be submitted between November 15 and December 15, the state secretary added.
