Gyöngyöstarján Mátra wine district Founded in 1999

Where the sun and the mountain meet – authentic Mátra wines

About the winery

Sol Montis Winery is located in the heart of the Mátra wine region in Gyöngyöstarján. Founded in 1999 by László Kovács, the family business expanded when his daughter Zita joined him in 2011. Operating roughly 110 hectares of vineyard, they craft quality wines while respecting ancestral traditions and embracing modern winemaking practices.

The Mátra's natural advantages – abundant sunshine and protection from northern winds by forested ridges – create ideal conditions for viticulture. Their vineyard parcels grow Irsai Olivér, Olaszrizling, and Hárslevelű alongside excellent red wines (Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Tempranillo). The cellar expanded in 2020 with a capacity of 5,000 hectolitres.

The wines are organised in three families: estate wines (top-end, parcel-selected vintages), premium wines (varieties needing special care), and classic wines (fresh, crisp, aromatic, reductive). The Absurd range features large-format bottles with playful names inspired by local Mátra characters.
