Balaton, Hungary

Young owners and winemakers Annamária Török and Attila Francisti work their three hectares in Balaton, Hungary with organic and biodynamic practices. We first tasted these wines at Karakterre a few years ago and knew they were something special! Their impeccable wines-ume (resume but wine) includes working for natural wine ICONS like Gut Oggau, Heinrich and Michael Gindl! The property consists of volcanic soil (basalt) with limestone, sand and clay, and hosts regionally beloved vines like kekfrankos (blaufrankisch), welschriesling, chardonnay & furmint, which are vinified using neutral oak barrels and amphoras. They modestly state that they plan to expand a bit more in the future, but no more than five hectares, as they say that is where you start to lose your time to clerical work, instead of being in the vines and cellar (their fave part!). FUN FACTS! The winery is named after the first street they ever made wine on together, AND the labels are inspired by a local folk tale (St. George killing the dragon) and feature two heads + two tails to symbolize the pair, with each label actually being stamped by hand with their logo! These TASTY and curious companions are crackling with magic, passion and we can’t wait for you to try them. Welcome to the GW family Kolónia 52!
