Tamás Günzer is the wine producer of the year

The award does not mean recognition of the excellent quality of a wine, but can be awarded for the outstanding performance of the winning wine producer over several years, for the constant, excellent quality of his wines, for their domestic and foreign successes, and for his efforts for the wine industry. The president of the Hungarian Wine Academy, Csaba Koch, emphasized in his celebratory speech that this prize was awarded with great effort based on the two-round voting. In the first round, nearly 900 recognized and respected personalities of the sector, members of major professional organizations, prominent persons in hospitality and gastronomy, as well as representatives of the trade press, were able to vote. In the second round, members of the Hungarian Wine Academy and former winemakers with the title of Wine Producer of the Year could vote.

In the past year, Tamás Günzer was among the candidates for the third time, Csaba Koch emphasized, and thus, after 24 years, a winemaker from Villány won the award again.
