Winemaker Florian Zaruba works with his partner Janka to run the winery, farm, fine dining restaurant, hotel, and cinema that are all a part of the Kristinus property on the southwest shores of Lake Balaton, Hungary. The winemaking region is quite young on this part of the lake, the largest lake in central Europe. The estate was established in 2005 and currently stands at 55ha in size, opening up the opportunity to offer the wines at a great value. The farming has been biodynamic since 2018, when Kristinus took over as winemaker.
We are dedicated to craft wine. Real wine produced by real people in limited quantity, from the new generation of natural winemakers to the classic high-end Burgundians. Sorry, no industrial wine here!
We are not just another Direct-to-Consumer website. Actually, we don't sell directly to consumers at all, as we believe selling wine is an art. We don't want to replace it, rather just make it easier, so you can focus on the art.
We believe the trade should be as fluid as wine. Processes, information and transactions should flow as a fine wine, in and out of a Zalto glass. That's where a Digital Platform can help.
For the wine market to be healthy, firstly it must take care of the producers. We believe that the trade should be fair and transparent, across all channels, from the producer to the final consumer.
