The Twickel Vineyard is the largest winery in the Szekszárd Wine Region and has become one of Hungary’s most prominent wine estates. The estate spans nearly 200 hectares and is owned by Baron György Twickel. His mother, Countess Mária Terézia Zichy, was born into a Hungarian noble family but was forced to leave her homeland in 1956. She moved to Germany, where she met her future husband, Baron Clemens Twickel of North Rhine-Westphalia.
Despite her exile, Countess Zichy’s love for her homeland and Hungarian heritage never faded. After the political changes in Hungary, the family began purposefully searching for investment opportunities near the former Zichy estates. With a long-standing family tradition in agriculture, they were naturally inspired by the opportunities offered by the Szekszárd wine region, leading them to pursue winemaking.
