History

view from the winery in Etyek, Hungary

The winery is named after Ágoston Haraszthy a pioneer hungarian winemaker who discovered the great capabilities of winemaking in California territory where he introduced more than three hundred varieties of European grapes.

Production

In 2016 the production was 250.000 bottles which is divided in three wine families: Haraszthy is the base wine family made by reductive technology. Virtuoso wine family members are aged in oak barrels. They are introduced to the consumers at the age of 2. Finally, Fantástico family wines are marketed as the finest quality. Wine from this family should be rested for at least three to five years before consumption to ensure they are enjoyed at their very best.

The sortiment also includes import wines from sister wineries from California and Argentina.
