“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.”

“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.”
