Patron of the Future Winemakers Award

“But after all wine is that kind of ancient drink which, during the history, a lot of times could make people (who were thinking in a different way) sit at the same table. Let us be naive and trust that Winemaker of the Winemakers Award can succeeded as well.”

András Kepes
author, media personality

“Every award can be measure by those who give them. To get an award from your own profession is always I great experience.”

Bence Laposa
winemaker

“On the basis of the current experiences about this award we can say that the Winemaker of the Winemakers Award revives the best traditions of the competition between the guild masters in the past: it values the long-term performance instead of the momentary success, and that is why it overtops from the plenty of depreciate events.”

Prőhle Prőhle
Ex-ambassador of Hungary in Bern and Berlin

“Glimmer light in the dark. I do hope that the winemakers will take care of this award this proper way. If I were one of them I would be really proud.”

Gergely Ripka

“For me the Winemaker of the Winemakers Award is very important and honorable because it means an honorable mention of our profession. It is a very good feeling to get an award from those people who knows exactly what is behind a winemaker’s work. I am glad that in 2012 those people have chosen me the Winemaker of the Winemakers who are truly respected by me.”

Imre Györgykovács
Winemaker of Winemakers (2012)

“This award is about the winemakers’ individuality and the wines’ individuality and not about the results of complicated blind-tests, so this award values more expansively the winemakers work. Because of this and the transparency of the decision and the personalities around this award I think that the Winemaker of the Winemakers Award is authoritative and genuine which can be a point of reference for the winelovers.”

István Kutas
communication expert and wine-author

“For me at the beginning the Winemaker of the Winemakers Award was “only” one of my friends, Pali Rókusfalvy’s likeable proposal. I thought that he, as a marketing and event organizing expert, who became a winemaker too, had a good new advertising idea and I did not think that this award could turn into this prestigious in such a short time. To reach this result we have need Pali’s wise decision to give the right of election and voting into the hands of the members of the profession and to pay attention that the whole process could be done very precisely and in a professional way. As I know the founder, I had no doubt about that.”

Károly Gerendai
Organizer of international festivals and cultural events

“Every one of us is curious is about what things are our favorite. I feel the Winemaker of the Winemakers Award special by the same reasons, because here the winemakers themselves can choose the favorite one from themselves. Furthermore, here they value not only the wines but the person behind it as well.”

Prof. Dr. Tamás Freund
Széchenyi-Awarded neurobiologist, regius professor, main member of the MTA, internationally recognized scientist of the work of brain cortex

“I think that – like in any other professions – the winemaker’s best recognition is when their colleagues awarded them. In this honorable mention there is the winner’s human quality studiously, above the business success.”

Tibor Kovács
winemaker

“There are many and many types of regards. But there is one thing that every award is common in. These awards mirror precisely the faith, ideology, world view and sensibility of the giver. To get an award is a special feeling, but after event only those awards can make you proud a lifetime long or so on which truthfulness is unquestionable.”

Zoltán Demeter
Winemaker of Winemakers (2007)

“It I remarkable that how richness, colorfulness and variety mark the Hungarian wines which include the essence of the Hungarian culture, soul and our nation, the Carpathian Basin’s geographical and natural treasure. Our goal is to help the Hungarian ventures’ export capacity so the success of the Hungarian wines at the international markets is extremely important for us. This was why we stand beside the most important award of this profession, the Winemaker of the Winemakers Award.”
