Barcza Pincészet - Bálint Barcza

The winery was founded by Bálint Barcza in 2011 in the Somló wine region, although the family has a long tradition in viticulture. According to the earliest written evidence - an old map - the Barcza family already owned large estates nearby in the mid-1800s.

Somló is an extinct volcano with basalt rock, making it one of the world's most unique volcanic terroirs. The wines produced here are highly distinctive, with a pronounced mineral character. The winery has used organic farming methods since its inception. We have been producing natural wines for years on 4 hectares. Instead of producing full-bodied, heavy wines, our goal is to achieve elegance, balance, and uniqueness.

Our winery is certified organic, and we only process organic grapes. We rely mostly on the handwork of our small team, so we can manage the majority of the work by hands like pruning, selecting the bunches, greenwork, harvesting, cellar work, bottling, etc. The grapes are harvested by hand, and we only pick the most beautiful, healthy grapes.

All our wines are fermented spontaneously. We use a combination of oak barrels and stainless steel tanks. Our wines are produced in the most natural way possible, without using any treatments, fining or filtration processes. We age our wines for a long time on fine lees without sulfur, then bottle them with low or none sulfur levels.
