Zoltán Heimann: The Heimann family has been one of Hungary’s leading red wine producers for many years. Zoltán Sr. and Ágnes Heimann left their jobs in finance and returned to the family’s agricultural past in Szekszárd. After 6 years of study and experience abroad, Zoltán Heimann Jr. returned home and joined the family business.
