Somlóvásárhely Nagy-Somló wine district
Family winery in the heart of Nagy-Somló – mineral-rich, expressive wines with generations of expertise
About the winery
Csordás-Fodor Borház is a family-operated winery with several generations of experience in viticulture and winemaking on 5 hectares in the Nagy-Somló region. The estate produces the area's characteristic grape varieties: Juhfark, Olaszrizling, Chardonnay, Tramini and Kékfrankos.
The wines distinctly reflect the character of Nagy-Somló: rich minerality, high extract content, pronounced acidity and high alcohol. Pruning, green harvesting and picking are done traditionally by hand. Processing begins within 1–2 hours of harvest, followed by controlled fermentation, oak ageing and bottling. The winery produces approximately 25,000 bottles annually.
