„With great diligence and preservance, I have been able to produce much better than Champagne sparkling wines known to date” – wrote down József Törley this phrase in 1882, when he decided to make use of his knowledge from Reims, France in Hungary.
In 1907, Törley celebrated its quarter-century anniversary of the factory. By this time Törley Champagnes were known from America to Australia. The factory had depots in Hamburg, Berlin, and Copenhagen.
The production in the factory had already reached 2 million bottles in the 1910s. A section of its history was completed in 1944 when the factory’s main building was hit by a bomb. After the war, the nationalization of the 1950s, the plant vegetated in a dead state and employed only four people. Today, Törley maintains a leading position in the Hungarian Champagne market with 10-12 million bottles a year. Champagne has been a tradition and quality brand for over one hundred and thirty years and is still popular both in Hungary and worldwide.
