Bencze Birtok

Hegymagas Badacsony wine district Founded in 2011

Terroir-focused winery exploring the potential of volcanic soils on Saint George Hill

About the winery

Bencze Birtok began operations in 2011 on the volcanic soils of Saint George Hill near Hegymagas. The property comprises three distinct parcels totalling 18.5 hectares, each with its own character and altitude along the hill's southern slopes. The winery's philosophy centres on harmony with nature, minimal intervention, and unlocking the terroir's expressive potential.

All wines undergo spontaneous fermentation with local wild yeasts, and only minimal sulphites are used in the cellar. The focus on developing healthy grapevines through natural vineyard management supports the creation of characteristic, authentic wines that reflect their place. Wine tastings and opportunities to participate in vineyard work are available.

Agrotourism is a central goal: four renovated press houses have been converted into guest accommodation offering panoramic views of Lake Balaton and the surrounding landscape.
