Karner Gábor Otthon #1
Founded in 2000, Gábor Karner now has 5.5 hectares and along with his daughter Fanni, run the estate in the nearby village of Szűcsi. Gábor is also a founding member of Tőkések Mátra (Handcraft Winemaking Circle of Mátra) along with Bálint Losonci and Tamás Szecskő who live a few miles down the road in Gyöngyöspata. They devoted themselves to organic farming, low yields, spontaneous fermentations and no additions other than SO2.
As of the 2017 vintage, Gábor and Fanni do not add any additives of any kind. Along with the rhythm of growing and making wine, he’s also a long time drummer most notably of the band rock Æbsence. Drumming makes him happy. When you taste with him he’s constantly tapping the table and moving his feet. It’s also clear that having his daughter choose to work with him brings him even more happiness
