The story of our family winery started in 2014 with only a few hectares of vines – since then we have been making wines from 17 hectares and four different parcels in Balatonfüred, Tihany and Balatonszőlős, strictly organically and sustainably.
In today’s modern, technological world, we want to be an oasis, a place where being close to nature and environmental awareness permeate our daily operations. With our products we want to offer our customers a healthy, quality alternative, in a progressive way, while preserving and respecting the millennia-old tradition of winemaking.
For us, winemaking is a real source of joy, a feeling that we bottle and share with others.
A family winery with beginnings in 1999, run by Dr Lőrincz György and his son Lőrincz György
Jnr who believe that Eger is one of the most
exciting wine regions of Hungary. They farm 45 hectares across 9 plots, growing as many as 20
varieties, and focus on blends that showcase the
terroir – especially in their exciting new wave
premium Bikavér reds that show that this
legendary wine can be world-class (they won Decanter Bestin Show in 2021). They say, “We are grateful that we have the chance to grow grapes here. We would like to create terroir-specific, characterful wines based on
tradition with modern quality winemaking. Old
local varieties, like Olaszrizling, Hárslevelű,
Furmint, Kadarka and Kékfrankos take priority here. We seek to know more about our terroirs and
parcels, to improve our cultivation....and put our heart and soul into understanding the essence of our passion.”
