Kis-Küküllő wines

The imprint of terroir in every drop

The Kis-Küküllő region is traditionally the home of white wines, and the majority of Jenő Iszlai's wines continue that tradition: Rizling, Neuburger, Szürkebarát, Tramini, Muskotály and Királyleányka are the most successful white varieties. His red wines – Fekete leányka, Kék burgundi and Merlot – as well as the recently planted Solaris have also proven themselves in competition.
