Guardians of Mohács wine heritage: artisan wines from Planina
About the winery
Planina Borház is a family artisan winery in Mohács, founded in 2003 to preserve and continue the wine and grape culture of its hometown. The vineyard – called Planina in the local Sokac dialect, meaning hillside – sits in one of Hungary's warmest, sunniest, and longest-growing-season terroirs, where viticulture has been documented since Roman times. The 6.5-hectare estate is cultivated with carefully selected clones and varieties at low yields, using meticulous manual vineyard work.
Owner and winemaker Zoltán Horváth approaches winemaking as a cultural and artistic practice, creating distinctive wines including csomorika, white kadarka, and bottle-fermented sparkling wine. Since 2012, the winery operates a historic cellar in Bükös-szurdok, offering tastings through monthly open-cellar events and by appointment. The terroir's distinctive features – exceptionally high sunshine hours, loess soil, and the Danube's microclimate influence – enable the production of high-quality white, rosé, siller, and red wines.
Grape varieties
Current range
Királyleányka
Fresh, citrusy, peachy light white wine. Recommended with salads, white fish, braised or roasted white meat.
Olaszrizling
100% Italian Riesling from one of the highest-altitude, best-exposed vineyard plots. Aromas of mignonette, citrus, exotic fruits; creamy on the palate with a subtle almond finish. Pairs with all classic white wine dishes.
Csomorika
A true Baranya specialty, grown nowhere else. With controlled yields, this offers lively acidity, restrained aromatics, and excellent drinkability. Pairs well with white meat, fish, and salads.
Kadarka
White wine made from red grape through rapid processing. The spiciness and subtle yogurt-like roundness of kadarka remain intact, creating exciting food-pairing possibilities. Recommended with exotically spiced white meat and cream-based sauces.
Néro, Pinot Noir
A blend of Néro and Pinot Noir. Salmon-coloured, fragrant, fruity rosé. Best served well-chilled for conversation or summer spritzers.
Cabernet Sauvignon
Made from fully ripe Cabernet Sauvignon. Develops red colour, raspberry-cherry aromas, and spicy flavours. A true gastro wine that pairs perfectly with fisherman's soup, sokac bean goulash, and waterfowl-based dishes.
Kékfrankos, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc
A vibrant red blend of 60% Kékfrankos, 30% Pinot Noir and 10% Cabernet Franc. Tank-aged rather than barrel-aged, it retains its primary cherry and berry fruitiness. Pairs with spiced pork and game dishes.
Cabernet Franc, Kékfrankos
70% Cabernet Franc and 30% Kékfrankos from Jenyei hill. Fully ripe grapes are hand-destemmed, fermented in open vats, then aged 18 months in oak. Wild cherry and raspberry aromas with a structured, spicy, elegant character. Recommended with beef, game, and burgers.
