Hegymagas Badacsony wine district Founded in 2019
Minimal intervention, pure expression – natural wines and ciders from the slopes of Szent György-hegy
About the winery
Gittinger Pince was born in 2019 from Attila's passion to craft natural wines and ciders on the slopes of Szent György-hegy near Lake Balaton. Our Pinot Noir comes from a 0.5-hectare organic vineyard planted in 2001, complemented by Kéknyelű plantings established in 2022, while our sparkling ciders are made from organic apple varieties. All our wines and ciders ferment and age in Tava amphoras.
The Gittinger philosophy is clear: nothing added, nothing taken away. Handpicked organic grapes, spontaneous fermentation, no pressing, filtering, fining or additives, no added sulphites. Our ciders are bottled with natural carbonation and fine lees, preserving their living character. Every bottle carries the imprint of soil, season, and time—evidence of minimal intervention winemaking that lets nature express itself fully.
In 2024, we launched the WINE + ART project, merging contemporary art with natural winemaking. Outdoor sculptures and installations transform our space at Szent György-hegy, celebrating the synergy between artistic and winemaking practices. Each vintage, like each artwork, is a singular, unrepeatable moment.
