Family-run Szekszárd winery crafting premium red wines from selected vineyard sites
About the winery
Tringa Borpince was established in 2001 as a family venture in Szekszárd. The four-hectare estate is situated on Kerékhegy hilltop, about a kilometre from the town centre, in a picturesque setting. The high number of sunshine hours and loess soil are excellently suited to red wine grape cultivation.
The winery focuses mainly on red wine production. Kékfrankos, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc varieties, as well as their blends, are their flagship wines. A rosé and a white wine round out their portfolio. Grapes are cultivated with quality focus and controlled yields, then fermented using modern, directed techniques. Red wines age in oak barrels in their cellar for at least one year before bottling.
Their philosophy centres on building the closest possible relationship with consumers. They sell wines primarily directly at the cellar, at festivals and tastings, and also supply wine shops, wine bars and restaurants. Wine enthusiasts can taste their wines on-site and tour their production facilities.
