Péter Nagyváradi

Small family winery on the north side of lake Balaton. We are located on the north-east part of the lake. The winery is in Balatonfüred.

The vineyards are all around the region in 15 km radius. We work on 2 hectares in 4 different plots. We have vineyards in different exposures. Usually we use tractor for cultivation (plough every second row in the old vineyards, the younger vineyards we leave the natural cover plants) In the old bush vines we are not able to use tractor, so we do everything by hand. All the vineyards are organic, not certified yet. We harvest everything by hand.

The winemaking is quite simple. With all the white grapes we press them directly with the whole cluster. The reds have different vinification, some are directly pressed, some are carbonic macerated for short period 5-10 days, and some are destemmed by hand and fermented for 2-3 weeks. All the wines are fermented in barrel (228-500 liter) and aged on the fermentation lees. We don't use any sulphur during these processes. We bottle the wines after one racking, without fining and filtration. We strive to not use any sulphur before bottling. If we use the total amount is 25 mg/l.
