A very special Törley champagne will be auctioned at the Budapest Wine Festival
The Törley Pezsgőpincészet is auctioning off an extraordinary lot at the country’s biggest wine event, the Budapest Wine Festival. The bottle day is precisely linked to the company’s 140th birthday, August 1, 2022, but this is far from its only special feature. The champagne was chosen as the best champagne at the VinAgora International Wine Competition in 2021, so it received the Champion award. A smaller batch of this Chardonnay Brut sparkling base was reserved.

József Törley registered his business almost exactly 140 years ago, on August 1, 1882, under the name “József Törley és Társa”
On the occasion of its 140th birthday, the Törley Champagne Winery produced a total of 140 unique, serially numbered bottles of champagne to celebrate its nearly one and a half century of existence. The most unique bottle of this series will be auctioned at this year’s Budapest Wine Festival. The Törley 140 Brut bottle, certified with certificate number 1, is based on the Törley Chardonnay Brut, which was chosen as the best champagne at last year’s VinAgora International Wine Competition, thus receiving the Champion award.
The jubilee piece was made using a traditional process, 100 percent Chardonnay base wine, and one of its special features is that it was aged on the lees for 4 years instead of the usual 3 years. And the bottle to be auctioned was placed on a shaking stand on August 1, 2022, exactly the 140th anniversary of the foundation of the Törley factory, which means that it was then that the final work phase, the shaking of the broom, took place. After that, the winery only sells the remaining 139 bottles of the holiday batch in its webshop.
