Generations of tradition, modern wines exploring flavors
About the winery
Soma Pince is a family winery operating across multiple generations, with roots extending back to the era of King Matthias. Situated in the Nivegy Valley above Szentantalfa on the Mocsár hillside, the winery offers stunning views of Lake Balaton and is easily accessible to visitors. The cellar presents an array of dry wines, sweet dessert wines, and distinctive specialties.
Production follows traditional methods, with knowledge passed down through the family. Sweet wines are sweetened exclusively with must, and the preservation of residual sugar requires special expertise. The estate cultivates grapes across several vineyard locations in the valley, featuring a rich composition of varieties.
The cellar stocks wines from dry to sweet across nearly all their varieties, spanning multiple vintages. Their guests include those drawn to sweet flavors as well as enthusiasts of refined, dry wines.
