Szekszárd

The Szekszárd wine district, located in southern Hungary's Tolna County, lies between the Tolna-Baranya Hills and the Dunamenti Plain. 

Vineyards stretch along the eastern slopes from Szekszárd to Báta, on loess-rich soils ideal for black grapes. The region covers 6,000 hectares, with 2,116 hectares under vine. Its warm continental climate and minimal frost risk favour varieties like Kadarka and Kékfrankos.

Pronunciation

Szekszárd “SEHK-sahrd”

The Badacsony wine region is located on the northern shore of Lake Balaton in western Hungary. It is characterized by its unique volcanic basalt hills, which provide exceptional minerality and drainage, ideal for white grape varieties. The climate is temperate with a strong moderating effect from the lake, providing warm days and cool nights, which support excellent acidity retention and aroma development. Kéknyelű, a native Hungarian variety once near extinction, has become the emblematic grape of the region, producing elegant, mineral-driven wines with fine acidity and restrained fruit.
