Vineyard and winery

After the Hungarian Conquest the “Kál” clan settled down in the area.
Thus the production of Hungarian wine after the Conquest had a triple base:
first, the Hungarian traditions brought from Central Asia and the Caucasus, secondly, the practice taken from the Romans in the area of Pannonia, thirdly, the knowledge and refined taste brought by the converting Benedictine Order and later on some other teaching orders from Italy, Burgundy, Anjou and the Rhine Valley.
The total area is 5,200 hectares, 5,140 of which is first class quality. The area which is planted with grape-vine is 1,508 hectares.
The whole wine region is part of the Upper Lake Balaton National Park.
The Lake Balaton Wine Region can be characterized by the partial continuation of the 2,000-year-old Roman vinicultural tradition

The slopes of Csobánc Hill, which is situated in the area of Badacsony Wine Region, are covered with Pannonian clay, Pannonian sand and at places with loess.

The basalt caps of the hills and the vicinity of Lake Balaton ensure that fiery, full-bodied, aromatic and tasty wines made from high must level grapes – even in the most unfavourable vintages.Vineyard and winery
