Vibrant, no-frills, infinitely original. That's what Jani Márkvárt is like – a real local force from Szekszárd, far from the bustling world of wine festivals and Instagram, close to the everyday work in the vineyard, to the tangible things. In the cellar, above all, he is driven by real solutions and tried-and-tested methods, he works among walls hollowed by his own hands, with old barrels and distinctive wines. “I grew up here, I know every ravine, vineyard and meadow. I have been working here since I was a child, I go at dawn, rest at home at noon, and finish in the vineyards in the evening. I’m from Szekszárd, I’m a winemaker, a grape grower, a farmer. I make enjoyable, good wines,” he adds. His estate wine, Ezerötös, is a real staple for us. From the Baranya-völgy, Faluhely and Gyűszű-völgy vineyards, this blend is made mostly from the Kékfrankos and Zweigelt varieties, with a bit of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. In 2020, it comes with even livelier fruit than usual, and is medium-bodied, made with brief maceration and bottled from the tank.
