Gere Attila Winery
„The great wines of the Gere winery remain unchanged. Kopar is Kopar, it is not affected by changing trends. We follow trends only in technology.”
About the winery
The history of the Gere Attila Winery started seven generations ago. Their ancestors have passed on their skills and attitude from one generation to the next. The love of nature has always been an integral part of Attila Gere’s life. In his original profession as a forester he had roamed the woods for 17 years. If time allows he still likes to take his 10.000 steps every day in the hills, in the vineyards or around the farm house with his dog Frici. But the conversion to organic farming a decade ago was also motivated by common sense and logic. The perfectly ripe, hand selected grapes coming from organic vineyards are taken to a cellar equipped with state of the art technology. Following the gentle extraction the wines are racked into traditional, top quality Hungarian oak barrels and after bottling their ageing continues in bottles. This is what makes Kopar, Solus and Attila unique, complex and elegant, and this why they can stand up to the best wines of the world.

History & Geography
We have vineyards in some of the most outstanding areas of the Villány-Siklós wine region including Kopár, Konkoly, Csillagvölgy and Ördögárok. In terms of soil and climate there are subtle differencies between these plots, however they share some common characteristics like the loess topsoils rich in chalk with a limestone-dolomite bedding underneath and this makes them eminently suitable for the production of great red wines. We knew from our grandparents’ accounts that there were some plots which were famous once due to their outstanding qualities but were abandoned and left fallow for many years. Beginning in the 1990s we gradually acquired some of these disused vineyards and replanted them. There is no top quality wine without top quality grapes. We have an uncompromising attitude when it comes to quality, so since 2010 all vineyards belonging to the Gere Attila Family Winery are farmed organically.
