Exceptional Winery and Vineyard for Sale on Szent György hey– Fulfill Your Dream in the Heart of the Balaton Uplands!

Have you ever dreamed of owning your own winery in the picturesque Balaton Uplands? Now you can realize your vision with this exceptional 12.1-hectare vineyard and winery located on the southern slopes of Mount Saint George. This area stands out not only for its scenic beauty but also for its high-quality grape varieties and modern winemaking infrastructure.

The Vineyard

The vineyard areas are meticulously planned and maintained, covering a total of 12.1 hectares. One part of the estate, 6.6 hectares, is situated directly next to the winery and benefits from optimal sunlight due to its southern exposure. Here, you’ll find newly planted (between 2000 and 2003) blue and white grape varieties, such as Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Kékfrankos, Chardonnay, Szürkebarát, and Sauvignon Blanc. The row and vine spacing (2.20 m x 1 m) ensures proper ventilation and ease of maintenance. The support system is partly metal and partly wood, with continuous modernization.

The other part of the estate, a 5.5-hectare area in the nearby Mogyorós vineyard, features newly replanted grape varieties as of 2015: Riesling, Italian Riesling, and Muscat Ottonel. Here, the support system is entirely metal, and the row and vine spacing is 2.40 m x 0.8 m.

All vineyard areas are cultivated with yield limitation to ensure the highest quality. The estate operates according to the Agricultural Environmental Management Program’s guidelines, guaranteeing sustainability and adherence to environmental standards.

The Winery

The winery infrastructure is exceptional, equipped with everything necessary for the operation of a modern winery. The 125 m², climate-controlled, partially underground processing and storage cellar was built in 2004 and features modern acid-resistant storage containers. During the harvest, the processing capacity reaches 150 q of grapes per day, allowing for efficient handling of larger volumes. The winemaking process employs the latest technologies, including an automatic pneumatic press, semi-automatic capping and corking machine, and a 4-head filler.

The winery has a total storage capacity of approximately 1000 hl, with about 300 hl of wine currently in stock, from several vintages, mostly from 2022-2023, some of which are already bottled.
