My parents gave me the most precious thing: they taught me to respect nature, and I owe my relationship with grapes and wine to them, so I have actually been nurturing a love of viticulture since I was a little girl. Despite my good upbringing, there was a period in my life when I went against all the guidelines. Nothing was good enough the way it was taught. I refused to take part in vine care: I refused to hoe or spray or even consume the wine. After some time, when I saw my friends’ vineyards, how they themselves made wine, and the pleasure they took in the wine they made, it dawned on me that I would like to do it myself. My outlook has changed radically. When I got married and moved from Bart to Madar, experiencing the area’s excellent grape-growing potential, my passion for wine and grapes only grew and grew. Today I can boast of my own vineyard and wine. There is nothing more exhilarating than tasting my own wine with friends in my wine cellar.
