The wine compass of Central Europe – reads the slogan of VinAgora International Wine Competition, Hungary's most prestigious wine contest. Since VinAgora also stands for guaranteed quality, you can find some rare treasures at the New Talents stand (No. 50) located in Hunyadi Court.
VinAgora New Talents focuses on wine makers who don’t have their own stand at the festival, but having performed very well at the competition, we wanted visitors to have a chance to meet them. These are typically lesser known, but very inspiring wineries worth getting to know.

Tokaj-Portius (Tokaj-Hegyalja wine region)
I am jr. Richard Hörcsik, a first generation wine producerI did not inherit vineyards, cellars or professional experience - I had to learn and build everything from scratch. The love of grapes and wine - that's the heritage of my ancestors. And the passion which I live with my everyday life of winemaking and viticulture is instinctive. In the making of my wines, I aim to emphasise the individuality of the vineyards, the growing locations, and to recognise and consciously use the potential of the vintage.
