Balatonlelle Balatonboglár wine district
Three generations on the Balaton's southern shore: fresh wines, elegant sparkling wines, sailing
About the winery
Bujdosó Pincészet is located on the southern shore of Lake Balaton in the Balatonboglár wine region, where three generations tend a 90-hectare vineyard estate. Experienced Feri papa oversees viticulture, drawing from his intimate knowledge of fifty years of harvest data. His son Feri and daughter-in-law Bea lead winemaking decisions, while another son Zsiga manages commerce. The younger generation—Ferkó—brings innovation to winemaking, particularly through the creation of the experimental Our Sea wine range.
The winery works with a diverse selection of grape varieties: Hungarian heritage varieties such as Olaszrizling, Irsai Olivér, Királyleányka, and Kékfrankos, alongside international cultivars including Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, and Chardonnay. Production is organized into several ranges: the Matróz family comprises fresh, steel-aged wines; the Kormány family offers richer, longer-aged selections; and Our Sea represents the winemaker's creative experimentation, featuring barrel-aged and new-oak fermented wines.
Sparkling wine production has deep roots in the region, and the family is passionate practitioners: Série is an elegant traditional-method sparkler developed through bottle-ageing, while Dél-Balaton perlwein embodies summer ease and lightness. The family is devoted to Lake Balaton and sailing, regularly competing with their Pannónia 70 yacht in numerous lake regattas, winning multiple Hungarian championship titles.
