Balatonfüred-Csopak wines from the vineyard
About the winery
Gelléri Pince is a leading winery in the Felsőörs vineyard region. The noble Felsőgelléri Antal family has lived in the settlement since 1725 – the winery is named after this family. The ancestors sold their wines to Viennese merchants until 1945; after decades of interruption, Antal Gyula revived the ancestral tradition following the change of regime. Wine production began in 2002.
Today the winery operates 30 hectares of vineyards with a capacity of 1,500 hectoliters. Utilizing the mineral-rich soil of the Balatonfüred-Csopak wine region, the lake's reflected light, and favorable breezes, they produce wines with distinctive character. The white wines are marked by soft, rounded acidity and mineral notes, while the red wines are refined by silky tannins.
