The Producer

About Hegyi-Kaló

Szomolya is a destination seldom stumbled upon, a hidden treasure awaiting discovery outside of Eger. In this serene enclave lies Hegyi-Kaló, a beacon of authenticity in the wine world. Amidst the rolling hills, there's no grand winery façade or prominent signage—just a humble abode, the Kaló family's home, where they craft their extraordinary wines in a cellar hand-carved into the hillside.

Imre Kaló, once a forester under the Soviet government until 1987, has since become a legendary figure in Hungarian winemaking. His unconventional methods yield wines of unparalleled character: meticulously tending to his vines to produce minuscule yields and employing up to 100 days of skin maceration for both reds and whites.
