Szentbékkálla Balaton Uplands wine district Founded in 1858

A Drop of Balaton

About the winery

The Fodor family's ancient cellar has been operating since 1858 in the Vörösmál vineyard district near Aszófő, on the northern shore of Lake Balaton. Over the past three and a half decades, the fifth and sixth generations of winemakers have worked the Balaton Uplands, preserving and developing the family's heritage.

They work with a wide variety of grapes, producing white, rosé, and red wines. They apply yield limitation and multiple shoot selection during viticulture to ensure excellent raw materials. Their white and rosé wines display lightness and fruitiness, made using reductive techniques to preserve primary aromas. Their outstanding vineyard-selected wines are aged in oak barrels to reflect the character of the terroir.

The winery has received numerous Hungarian and international awards, including recognition from VinAgora, Berliner Wine Trophy, and Decanter World Wine Awards. Processing, aging, and bottling take place at their facility in Szentbékkálla. Their wine shop in Aszófő offers the complete range of wines and tasting opportunities.
