Teleki

The Hungarian wine merchant and vine grower Zsigmond Teleki (1854-1910) inherited five acres of vineyards from his father. As a young man, he traveled all over Europe and founded a wine export business in 1881. Motivated by the peak of the phylloxera epidemic in Europe at the end of the century and state subsidies for combating it, he established a nursery in Villány for the breeding of rootstocks. He recognized early on the importance of the right selection depending on the variety and soil type. He was advised by his Austrian friend Ing. Franz Kober (1864-1943). Together, they developed the rootstock Kober 5 BB, which is still used today.

Teleki - Zsigmond Teleki, Rebzuchtbetrieb Teleki, Andor Telek

After the death of his father, Andor Teleki (1883-1953) took over the business in 1910, and after World War I, his brother Alexander Teleki (1890-1942) joined. In addition to the headquarters in Villány, two more vineyards were planted in Sollenau in 1911 and in Kottingbrunn in 1925. The business also focused intensively on the breeding and testing of table grapes. The Teleki and Kober businesses developed into the most significant vine breeding facilities in Europe. The Teleki-Kober company in Sopron (Hungary) was founded in 1996 and sees itself as the successor to the two businesses.

The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
