The name: PlaceBor Wine Estate
Placebo is a latin word which means ‘you will like me’. PlaceBor (PlaceWine) is a play on words: it expresses our hope that you will like our wines and our estate as well. Let’s get started!
Csabi Seres, owner, man-of-all-work
Csabi doesn’t know the word ‘impossible’. He has been a nature lover since childhood, hence, it is not surprising that he became a forester. When his father started an agricultural business, he joined him while obtaining a degree in agriculture. His mother and father laid the foundation of the family vineyards and they are still engaged in the day-to-day operation of the estate. When his time came, Csabi picked up the baton and kept on growing and developing the vineyards.
On top of having thorough knowledge on vines and wines, Csabi operates and repairs every kind of machines, continuously builds and rebuilds, solves every problem. He set up the headquarter of PlaceBor Wine Estate in Dunaszentmiklós. Since he is always up to something, we can surely expect him to follow through further plans.
Csilla Szegedi, viticulturist, winemaker
Csilla’s path to winemaking has been as winding as the road leading from Dunaszentmiklós to Csengervölgy vineyard. Having obtained a Master of Arts degree, started working in the public administration just to get bored of it in no time, and change the dusty offices to sunny vineyards and cool cellars. Studied viticulture and winemaking at secondary and university level as well, then started off on a journey to New Zealand and Portugal to pick up as much information on making both white and red wines as humanly possible. Finally she returned to Neszmély, her “mother wine region” where after a few stops now feels to have found her home.
Brigi Pintér, the lady of the house
Brigi knows the nuts and bolts of hospitality. Over the years she has worked in the best restaurants and hotels of the region in various positions. She can not be surprised by even the strangest request, she solves and settles everything in the blink of an eye. If you visit us, you can not miss her ease and serenity.
The 4-legged contingent
We happily share the estate with a 4-legged contingent: the two stray dogs, Merlin and Bolhás (‘Fleabag’), and the two inherited, veteran horses, Bonito and Névtelen (Anonymus) are eager to mingle with you. They make this magical place even more happy and alive.
