About the winery
Káli Kövek Winery produces wines that authentically express both the characteristics of their grape varieties and the distinctive, mineral-driven terroir of the Káli region. They follow traditional and as natural as possible winemaking methods, relying fundamentally on the power and wisdom of nature. Humility forms the foundation of their work: they strive for natural simplicity, authenticity and quality.
Most vineyards are located on the slopes of protected volcanic testament hills, where the rocky, tuffaceous soil structure is rich in minerals. Volcanic basalt tuff and limestone soils give the wines their unique, mineral character. The Mediterranean influence and the area's two-thousand-year winemaking heritage—the legacy of royal and ecclesiastical estates, aristocratic and minor noble vineyards—provide a strong foundation.
