About the winery
Gilvesy Winery was founded by Robert Gilvesy in 2012. Operating in a 17th-century stone cellar, the 15-hectare estate on the volcanic soils of the Badacsony wine region works to express maximum character from its terroir.
The winery was purchased by Robert in 1993 and rebuilt by 2012 to honor its heritage—formerly owned by Polish aristocrats and later the Eszterházy family. The operation follows a philosophy of low intervention: spontaneous fermentation, stainless steel tanks, and gentle handling define the winemaking process.
Vineyards in the Tarányi, Váradi, and Mogyorós parcels are rooted in Mount Saint George's basalt and volcanic tuff soils. Riesling, Furmint, and Olaszrizling grown here create mineral-driven, fresh, and layered wines that capture the spirit of place.
