Sauska: The Most Successful Winery of Winelovers Wine Awards 2025

Sauska – one family, two wine regions, three places
Sauska is a family-owned and operated winery with vineyards in both Tokaj (NE Hungary) and Villany (SW Hungary). They grow indigenous and international grape varieties and use only the power of gravity and ambient yeasts to craft the wines. They run the gamut from sparkling to still; dry to sweet; white, red and rose.

"Teamed up with a young, talented and passionate staff " truly enjoy our journey with the desire to make world-class wines, that are precise, elegant and uniquely Hungarian."



The "Holy Trinity" of Sauska – the phylosophy of Sauska team
Tokaj

This is not just a wine country to us… it is our heritage. For Christian, it is Somberek, the tiny village nearby where his family lived for centuries. For Peter, it is Bóly, his birthplace. For our Cabernet Sauvignon, it is the cold plateau of Siklós where its lean acidity comes from. For our Cabernet Franc, it is the searing-hot Devil`s Ditch. Villány is warm, homey and inviting. Once people arrive, no one ever wants to leave its magic.

The Sauska sparkling wines embody the Tokaj terroir through their indigenous and international varietals expressions. Furmint and Hárslevelű, as well as Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes are 100% estate-grown, shaped to perfection in the 150-year-old limestone cellars situated in Budapest. This part of the city, also known as Budafok, was an idyllic land of vineyards from the Roman times on and by the mid-19th century, it became the center of local wine production. Outstanding temperature conditions, steadily circulating fresh air and robust walls providing perfect light protection characterize the 150-year old cellar system where we housed our sparkling wines in 2015.
