Garamvári Estate

The Garamvári Estate is a family business built on the head of the family, Wencel Garamvári’s winemaking qualification and decades of winemaking experience. This activity was supplemented in 1993 with viticulture and winemaking in Balatonlelle. The business was completed when they bought the former Palugyai cellar in Budafok in 1996 and also began traditional method sparkling wine production. Today, the company’s activities are based on two pillars. One is the vineyard and winery in Balatonlelle, the other the Garamvári Sparkling Wine Cellar in Budafok, formerly Vincent, and the wholesale warehouse for the quality wine trade. Although the sparkling wines are better known, a significant amount of still wine is made on the estate. Wine region: Balatonboglár Winemaker: Vencel Garamvári Soil/rock: brown forest soil, clay, loess Estate size: 75 ha Main vineyards: Hosszú-dűlő, Kokashegy, Rózsapuszta, Sínai-tető, Lelle-dűlő, Magyal-dűlő and Botné-dűlő Main varieties: Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Syrah, Királyleányka Winemaking/technology: “...I am interested in the production of sparkling wine and I believe I will only produce high-quality sparkling wine..."
