Csopak is one of the world-class terroirs of Lake Balaton where the diversity of soils, climate and timeless viticulture create unique wines. Mineral clays, chalk and volcanic soils give different characters. Their aim is to show this diversity through a narrow range of authentic grapes: olaszrizling, furmint and kékfrankos. Therefore they respect old vineyards and save their grape for vineyard and soil selections. Natural yeast, slow winemaking and gentle aging are all key elements to preserve their uniqueness.
