Viticulture in the Villány wine region dates back to Roman times. The immigration of German-speaking Swabians to the region in the 18th century led to significant changes and developments in both viticulture and winemaking. This was the era when the famous rows of cellars were built in Villány.

After the phylloxera epidemic, the management of Count Zsigmond Teleki marked an important stage in the history of Villány and brought international recognition to the entire region. The production of family wineries, based on centuries-old traditions, was organized and distributed by merchants who ensured that Villány wines reached distant parts of the world. From the early 1990s, after the fall of communism, family businesses were re-established. Small producers from Villány, including Attila Gere, joined forces.

Thanks to their efforts to revive old traditions, the quality of their bottles brought Villány on par with the best in the world. Today, there are approximately 2500 hectares of vineyards on the hills around Villány and Siklós. More red grapes are grown in the vicinity of Villány, while more white grapes are grown in the Siklós area, but overall, the wine region is best known for its red wines. The undisputed star of the region is Villányi Franc.

Although Cabernet Franc is grown worldwide, it is primarily used for creating blends, but bottled as a single varietal, it reaches its peak in Villány. The unique terroir, climate, and winemaking traditions give a specific quality to the wines produced from this varietal, which is why premium and super premium Cabernet Franc wines from Villány are called Villányi Franc.

Typically, these wines are elegant, complex, rich, powerful, dynamic, well-structured, with spicy acidity, velvety tannins, and excellent balance.
