Kislaki Légli Géza Winery
The Légli family is known for being a true winemaking family, with grapes and wine always playing an important role in their lives. It's no surprise that Géza's father envisioned his future revolving around the wine industry. However, Géza never liked when something was 'forced' upon him, so he didn’t give in to the pressure and decided to pursue making clay pots. As the years went by, no one tried to convince him to follow the family tradition and become a winemaker. When it was no longer 'required,' his curiosity about wine grew. At that point, he made an independent yet conscious decision and began planning his winemaking future.
He bought and planted vineyards, then grew grapes for sale for 4-5 years. These were important learning years, which equipped him with the essential knowledge needed to establish his own winery. Then came the 2006 vintage, from which the first wines were created. The main focus for that year was the Jánoshegyi Merlot and the Vitéz Chardonnay (two single-vineyard wines), but alongside these, the 2007 vintage took shape in the form of an excellent Kislaki rosé and a Kislaki red wine. Géza’s philosophy is simple and logical: 'Nature-friendly grape growing and making natural, handcrafted wines.'"
