WASSMANN
In the sun-kissed Villány region of Hungary, Susann Hanauer and Ralf Wassmann have etched their names among the elite winemaking maestros. Their enigmatic Wassmann winery stands as a testament to their unwavering dedication to crafting exceptional wines that speak volumes about their commitment to quality and sustainability.
With over two decades of relentless pursuit for perfection, Susann and Ralf have garnered global acclaim for their remarkable wines. Their journey towards excellence began over ten years ago when they embraced biodynamic cultivation methods, nurturing their grapes with meticulous care and respect for the land. This devotion to natural farming practices is evident in every sip of their exquisite creations.
Spanning a modest 2 hectares of land, their vineyard paints a picturesque scene of harmony between nature’s bounty and human craftsmanship. The vineyard proudly wears the badge of Demeter certification, a testament to their unwavering allegiance to organic agriculture and sustainability.
The Wassmanns’ synergy isn’t just about crafting wines; it’s a convergence of two unique life paths intertwining seamlessly to create liquid art. Ralf, with a lifelong ardor for the alchemy of fermentation, embarked on his winemaking journey among the Harz mountains, experimenting with cherries, rosehips, and gooseberries. His pursuit of oenological excellence led him to Geisenheim, where he refined his skills amidst the vineyards of the Rhine.
In a serendipitous twist, Susann’s journey from law to wine was an unexpected yet delightful turn of fate. Her reverence for nature and a penchant for exceptional wine brought her to cross paths with Ralf during an alpine escapade. A former lawyer turned wine merchant, Susann’s expertise in marketing seamlessly complemented Ralf’s mastery of viticulture, forging a formidable force in the realm of winemaking.
At the heart of Wassmann winery lies a blend of passion, expertise, and an unyielding commitment to producing wines that transcend expectations. For those seeking an unparalleled wine experience, Wassmann stands as an emblem of unparalleled craftsmanship and a testament to the fusion of two remarkable journeys into a singular, extraordinary pursuit of vinicultural brilliance.
