The grapes used for the wine production come from two different sources: they are partly produced on our wineyards or purchased from individual grape growners or co-operatives.
Majority of our wineyards – 265 ha – is situated in Transdanubia, int he Igar-Vámszőlőhegy estate (Tolna wine growing region). Only white grapes are growned here, such as Chardonnay, Rhine Riesling (Rhineriesling), Italian Riesling (Welschriesling), Pinot Blanc, Irsai Oliver, Grüner Veltliner, Cserszegi Fűszeres, Zengő, and also the very popular Pinot Gris (Pinot Grigio).
Another 106 ha of new plantation is located in Hajós, blue grapes dominating (Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and also Kékfrankos: Blue Frank), but some of white varieties, like Cserszegi Fűszeres, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris have also been planted. The first crop on some Cabernet plots was harvested in 2004, different varieties on other parts of the vineyard will be turning in crop gradually by 2007.
In order to produce the other wines available in our portfolio, we purchase good quality grapes based on medium and long term contracts from our area as well as in the Mátra , Szekszárd, Ászár-Neszmély, Sopron, Eger and Balatonboglár wine growing regions.
