Our wine region
The Neszmély wine region, like almost any other wine regions of Hungary, has been inhabited by grape growing and wine loving folks for a couple of millennia. Situated on the northern part of Transdanubia, the hillsides and plateaus of Gerecse, Pilis, Vértes and Bakony mountains have been decorated with the vivid green stripes of vine rows since the beginning of time. As it is with history, the region had its ups and downs, but the Hungarians, Germans and Slovaks who shared this land have never let their cellars get empty. The intense fruitiness and lively acidity of the wines produced here got quite a fame even outside of the borders thanks to Sigismund of Luxembourg and Habsburg Maria Theresia who exported it to faraway lands.
Due to the obvious effects of climate change, the acidity of Neszmély wines got softer by now, but the crystal clear fruitiness, thanks to the mainly loess soil, is still a hallmark of these wines. And as a result of the inspiring work of a few winemakers, it now can be stated with ever more confidence that on top of the primer fruitiness, Neszmély wines show depth, layers paired with impeccable balance and elegance. Moreover, due to the wide range of varieties grown here, everyone can find the wine that fits his or her mood best on any given day.
Our vineyards are located in four vineyards that belong to four different villages. The area confined by Neszmély, Dunaszentmiklós, Szomód and Tata is situated in the heart of the wine region and considered the best parts of the region.
Our estate spreads on a gentle slope in the beautiful tiny village of Dunaszentmiklós and offers a breathtaking view of the Tata valley.
