Spirit of Somló: traditional winery with extended aging
About the winery
Fekete Winery sits on the southern slope of Somló mountain, where volcanic soil gifts every wine with rich minerality and robust acidity. The winery traces its roots to Béla Fekete's foundation in the 1970s. Since 2014, under new leadership, it continues the inherited tradition through traditional vinification methods and 3–4 years of cellar aging, producing premium quality white wines.
Somló has served local winemakers for almost a thousand years, and the winery's mission is to sustain and strengthen this clean tradition. Led by Ákos and Gábor Riesz, with support from their brother and vineyard team, they craft each new vintage while maintaining close ties to Béla's legacy and the Somló winemaking community.
Grape varieties
Current range
Furmint
Perhaps the most highly regarded white variety in Hungary. With careful handling and oak aging it reaches its full complexity and elegance, a wine that improves boldly with time.
Juhfark
The variety most closely linked to the Somló name. Its restrained, clean character finds perfect harmony with the distinctive Somló terroir. A straight, masculine wine.

Olaszrizling
One of the most planted white grapes across Central-Eastern Europe. Long underestimated in Hungary, it now receives increasing attention from quality winemakers. On Somló it is simply fantastic.
Hárslevelű
Our most abundantly produced variety, grown on 38% of our vineyard. Characteristic rich aromatics, feminine softness and harmony are accompanied by the mineral elegance imparted by the terroir.
Chardonnay
One of the world's most renowned white varieties, yet rarely found in the Nagy-Somló region and rarely in our cellar due to our small Chardonnay plantation. We craft this unique one-barrel lot with special care each year.
New to our portfolio, though cuvée wines are a living tradition in our region. A perfect tool to highlight the unique terroir characteristics rather than focusing on a single variety. This is our aim with this wine.
Juhfark
A lesser-known but truly lovely expression of Somló's famous grape. In this special year with exceptional botrytis development, it revealed its true character.
