About us
Welcome to the Wibi Winery in Kophaza!
Our family business is small but mighty.
A viticulture with respect!
Respect for nature, the soil, the plants and the people who cultivate the vineyard and bring the noble wine to perfection. Respect for those who appreciate and enjoy this wine. Aromatic, full-bodied wines with finesse, structure and complexity. That's what we love, that's who we are!
Site
Viticulture is a combination of soil, climate and skill. Old techniques are combined with modern technology, which has been refined over generations and constantly brings something new. The soil remains the same every year, the weather brings the challenge. It is determined by the time. A challenge we gladly accept. According to the motto, "Less is more!", we try to go a new way and focus on quality.
Our gardens have an excellent location. They are embedded in the Sopron Hills, surrounded with the Pannonian climate of Lake Neusiedl. Both white and predominantly red grape varieties thrive here. Bordering on Burgenland's Blaufränkisch Land, the finesse, structure & complexity here is the Blaufränkische, probably the most traditionally cultivated variety in this region. But Merlot, Zweigel and Carbernet also thrive here and can be blended into wonderful Cuvées, adding to WIBI's treasures.
The Sopron Wine Region
Sopron is one of the oldest wine regions in Hungary and dates back to 300 B.C. The Celts already cultivated wine here, soon followed by the Romans. The Bavarian settlers later intensified viticulture, resulting in Sopron becoming perhaps one of the most important wine-growing region in the country in the 14th century. A special feature of the time was that the wine cellars were all located in the city, ensuring protection from the city walls by enemy attacks. The heart of viticulture here is the Blaufränkisch.
Here, in the immediate area of Lake Neusiedl, wine growing has developed. Lake Neusiedl warms up in spring and summer under the sun ensuring excellent grape ripening in autumn. The soil consists of sand, clay and gravel.
