Csongrad Wine Region

Intro

The Csongrád wine region is a member of the Danube Wine Region founded in 2002. Vine growing has been part of the life of the people living here since the reign of the Árpád kings. His first written record is found in the founding charter of the Abbey of Garamszentbenedek in 1075, which was issued by King Géza I..  Later diplomas prove that the XIV. They had their vineyards in the 18th century, in Sermen. Szeged was a wine merchant city famous for its wines from Szerémség and Aradi Hegyalja, Szekszárd and the Felvidék as soon as Europe got to know Tokaj wine at Matthias. In addition to excellent quality, this was due to the passage of salt transport routes and waterways.

In the 19th century, large grape planting took place, on the one hand, to catch the sand, and on the other hand, because the phylloxera did not damage the sand. By the turn of the century, the sandy grapes accounted for almost half of all the vineyards. The soil of the wine region is mostly calcareous sand of Danube origin, except for the more binding Tiszai casting ground around Csongrád. The climate of the wine region is extremely extreme, but in some years it also bears the Mediterranean character. Many sunshine and a high amount of heat contribute to a secure ripening and good sugar formation. For the people living here, grape and wine production is not only a livelihood, but also a passion for grape love. The Saint Vince Wine Order, founded in the Csongrád Wine Region for 17 years, aims to raise awareness of the vine and wine culture of the county, and to promote sandy wines.
