Winery Description:

Sektkellerei Szigeti is a pioneering sparkling wine producer in Austria, founded by the Szigeti brothers in 1991 in the village of Gols, Burgenland. The winery popularized high-quality Austrian “Sekt” crafted from the traditional Champagne method, with second fermentation in the bottle and extended lees aging. Rather than owning vineyards, Szigeti operates as a négociant, sourcing grapes from select contract growers on more than 100 hectares across Burgenland and neighboring Niederösterreich, regions with ideal terroirs shaped by the Pannonian climate.

From elegant Bruts with crisp freshness to nuanced and spicy Rosés, Szigeti's portfolio highlights both the natural characteristics of Burgenland’s vineyards and the winemaker's craftsmanship. Visitors to the winery can enjoy informative tours and tastings, gaining a deep appreciation for the artistry behind Austria’s premier sparkling wines.
