The terroir of Southern Balaton

Their vineyards are situated south from the lake, on the north side of the hills of Somogy. The water surface of the lake results in unique micro climate which prevents the land from freezing and provide higher humidity. The summer heat can be tolerable due to the wind both from the shore and the lake. The forests of Somogy also have a cooling effect, the best vineyards of our territory are all located near the forests.

Until the phylloxera plague the wine region mostly had red varieties, but after that white wines have been cultivated. Today, white wines are produced on 60% of the land. The character of the wines are fruity and thanks for the wide range of varieties they are versatile. The soil and the climate both result in having excellent grapes: easy ripening, well-balanced, nice wines. Besides the aromatic dry wines, the mature red wines and the local sparkling wines are also popular.
