Principal grape varieties

Terroir

• Flat terrain: altitude below 200 m above sea level, with elevation differences not exceeding 10–20 m.
• The soils consist predominantly of calcareous sandy soils, with smaller proportions of barna erdőtalaj, csernozjom, meadow soils, and alluvial soils.
• Kontinentális klíma: hot summers, cold winters, average temperature 10–11 °C, annual sunshine exceeding 2,000 hours.

• The earliest written record of a flourishing viticulture dates from 1075; the phylloxera epidemic (1875) left the region unaffected owing to its sandy soils.
• Traditional varieties include Ezerjó, Kadarka, and Kövidinka; alongside these, Kékfrankos, Leányka, Olasz Rizling, and Cserszegi Fűszeres have also emerged.

• Elegant, fresh, and vibrant wines with fine acidity, medium-length finish, and — in varietal wines — floral and fruit aromas.
• The influence of sandy soils yields light-bodied wines of softer character, moderate alcohol, and lower mineral content.

• Sandy soils → lighter-bodied wines with lower mineral content and moderate alcohol.
