Sol Montis

Sol Montis Winery is located in Gyöngyöstarja, in the heart of the Mátra wine region. László Kovács founded the winery in 1999; since then, the purchase and establishment of new plantations with increasingly high-quality crops and the development of viticulture have continued.

In the Kovács family, the winemaking takes place from father to daughter. Zita Kovács joined her father in 2011 and is involved in marketing and hospitality.
