Gyöngyössolymos Mátra wine district Founded in 1996
Award-winning wines from the Mátra region by a family winery
About the winery
Ákos Pince was re-established in 1996, building on family winemaking traditions spanning several generations. The cellar, built in the late 1800s, features a barrel-vaulted structure of 136 m² near the town centre. Beginning with 1 hectare, the vineyards have expanded to 6.5 hectares across the Csókás, Csárda-Csücskő, Kármélusi, and Magdalaki vineyard sites.
Taking full advantage of the Mátra wine region's potential, they primarily cultivate aromatic white varieties. Harvesting is gentle, using 20-kilogram crates. Must fractionation, low-temperature controlled fermentation, and varietal-specific winemaking techniques ensure quality. For certain varieties like Muscat Ottonel, they focus on preserving primary aromas, while others such as Olaszrizling and Szürkebarát undergo several months of barrel ageing to develop complexity.
Hands-on work by family members and carefully selected grape varieties support tasting and quality. Traditional methods combined with modern winemaking knowledge make the winery distinctive.
