Bakos Winery

The 3.5-hectare estate of Bakos Winery can be found in the historical Badacsony wine region, in the area of Lake Balaton National Park on a 376-meter high, 3.42-million-year old, basalt volcano on the south-eastern slope of Csobánc Hill, halfway on the ”Blue hike” road leading up to Csobánc Castle ruin. The first class, 3.5-hectare area belongs to the Káptalantóti-Csobánc Wine community of the Badacsony Wine Region and it has excellent regional vines. The center of Bakos Winery is the cellar built in 1822 at 17 Csobánc Hill.
What could be the foundation of a successful winery? We are enthusiastic of the land. Good vineyards, carefully cultivated vines and a dedicated, professionally trained team. The importance of the human factor that consciously shapes its environment arises even in the context of the much-mentioned terroir – a term that refers primarily to the geographical characteristics of the place where the grape is born.
It belongs to one of our oldest, most famous, historical wine regions with a thousand-year old Hungarian, Celtic and Roman past.
The word Badacsony itself goes back to the distant past: our relatives, the Uigur people, who live in Western China, use the word “badacsony” for vine arbour.
Our wines are made locally in Csobánc hill with hand harvest and they are processed immediately on the vintage day.
Our purpose is to maintain the biological balance of our vineyard. Green harvesting in order to improve the quality of wines and medium high-trained cordon cultivation method.
We produce neutral, hand-made, low intervention, authentic wines in small quantities. Our wines are protected designations of origin (Csobánc), dry white wines.
The rich, volcanic soil of Csobánc Hill enriched our wines with minerality and also with a special, flowery and almond-like character.
Our 3-hectare first-class south-eastern vineyard contains the most outstanding regional grape varieties: Welschriesling, planted in 1998, Pinot gris, planted in 2004, Furmint, planted in 2016 and Pinot Blanc, planted in 2017.
