Gyöngyös Mátra wine district
Mátrai tradition, family winemaking – generations of wine culture
About the winery
Kis-Benedek Pince is a multi-generational family enterprise that preserves the tradition of viticulture and winemaking. Winemaker György learned the craft from his grandfather and father, managing six hectares of vineyard. The small winery prioritizes native Mátrai grape varieties, including Zenit, Zengő, Rizlingszilváni, Kékfrankos, and Irsai Olivér.
The winery has received numerous accolades: the 2012 Müller Thurgau won the local City Wine competition, and late-harvest Zenit wines have earned gold and silver medals in domestic and international competitions. Zenit is a special wine produced from shriveled grapes, known for its finesse and mineral character.
