Gyöngyöstarján Mátra wine district Founded in 1946
Traditional Mátra winery blending family heritage with modern winemaking
About the winery
Kiss Balázs Családi Borászat is situated in Gyöngyöstarján in the heart of the Mátra wine region. The winery is built on generations of family winemaking tradition and has operated in its current form since 1946. The family cultivates eight hectares of vineyards, producing around one thousand quintals of grapes annually.
White and rosé wines are crafted exclusively using reductive technology to preserve the grapes' primary aromatic compounds. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with selected yeasts. Red wines mature through traditional oak barrel aging.
The winery offers two product lines: the Rege series represents the core range, while the Premium series comprises wines made with heightened care and attention. Their wines have earned recognition in several national wine competitions.
