About the winery
Gedeon Birtok is a family winery located west of Kecskemét in the heart of the Great Hungarian Plain, between Izsák and Ágasegyháza. The 80-hectare vineyard sits on the Kiskunsági sandy ridge, where the Varga family produces wines using traditional viticulture and winemaking methods. The estate takes its name from history: Gedeon Imre, the husband of a nobleman's youngest daughter, was the original namesake.
Gedeon Birtok specializes in authentic lowland grape varieties including Sárfehér, Cserszegi fűszeres, Kövidinka, as well as classic international cultivars. In the cellar, they apply reductive technology and temperature-controlled fermentation to preserve the region's characteristic light, fresh, fruity character. The portfolio includes white wines, rosés, sparkling wines, and red wines.
