The Balaton-felvidék (Balaton Uplands) wine region is located just to the north of Lake Balaton’s central and western parts of the northern shore. It consists of two distinct areas: the eastern section being located between the Badacsony and Balatonfüred-Csopak regions, and the western section comprising the Keszthely Plateau and stretching further north into Sümeg. Today, there are around 1,500 hectares of grapes planted in the Balaton Uplands
Like many regions throughout Hungary, the first vines in the Balaton Uplands were planted by the Romans. By the early 1300s, the archdiocese of Veszprém had greatly expanded upon those plantings, and there had already existed a centuries-long reputation heralding the excellent quality of the region’s wines. At one point in time, most of the vines in the area were even owned by the Eszterházy family, further bolstering the region’s name both within Hungarian and abroad.
The Balaton Uplands are most noted for their volcanic soil, sunny, south-facing slopes, and character-driven wines. The region’s proximity to Lake Balaton provides a Mediterranean influence to what would otherwise be a strictly continental climate, and the diverse soil composition gives a lot of personality to the grapes that are grown there. The most significant soil types include limestone, tuffeau clay, dolomite, and marl.
As is typical for viticulture near and around Lake Balaton, white grape (Olaszrizling, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Cserszegi Fűszeres) plantings far outnumber the red grapes (Kékfrankos, Pinot Noir) in the region. The distinct soil and well-tempered climate are perfect for producing wines with bright acidity and stony minerality, and these wines are best sampled while enjoying a sunny summer day at the “Hungarian Sea”.
