Ákos Pince

Ákos Pince was revived in 1996, continuing family winemaking traditions from before the 1950s. The cellar was built in the late 1800s near Gyöngyös city centre, featuring a barrel-vaulted room of 136 m² and a civic house from the 1920s above. Production began with 1 hectare of vineyard, expanding to 6.5 hectares over the past decade.

Vineyards are located at the border of Gyöngyös and Visonta, in the Csókás, Csárda-Csücskő, Kármélusi and Magdalaki vineyard sites. Plantings focus on white, aromatic varieties: Muscat Ottonel, Szürkebarát, Olaszrizling, Cserszegi Fűszeres, Irsai Olivér, Zengő and Rizlingszilváni.

The winery employs modern methods: grapes are processed in 20 kg crates, musts are fractionated and fermented at low temperature under control. Much of the vineyard work is done by family members. Visitors can view the cellar corridor dating back to 1840 and the romantic courtyard framed by rock walls.
