Our Winery
Three generations of passion for the vine — tradition and innovation in balance
Our Story
Three generations,
one passion
The story of Podmaniczky Winery began in 1962, when our grandfather József Podmaniczky planted the first vines on the south-facing slopes near Balatonföldvár.
Now in its third generation, the winery blends traditional craft techniques with modern winemaking knowledge. Every bottle captures the spirit of the Balaton Uplands.
Our wines are hand-harvested with careful selection and aged in barrels under conditions worthy of the finest wineries.
The wine's journey — from vine to glass
Hand Harvest
Throughout September and October, our experienced harvesters hand-pick the finest bunches vine by vine.
Processing
Crushing, pressing and fermentation take place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks.
Ageing
Our premium reds age for 12–18 months in small French oak barrels in our 12°C cellar.
Bottling
The finished wine is also bottled and aged on-site. A maximum of 18,000 bottles leave our winery each year.
