About the winery
Podmaniczky Winery produces wines from the Kőröshegy and Szólád vineyards of the Balatonboglár wine region, where the character of the place is reflected in every sip. Dr. Péter Podmaniczky, an international wine competition judge, encounters vineyards from many countries, yet his work centres on presenting the distinctive character of the Southern Lake Balaton terroir with clarity.
The winery carries the spirit of three generations: from his grandfather a love of craft, from his father professional knowledge, and at Péter's level a scientific approach. The proximity of Lake Balaton, the topography and soil differences give outstanding character to the white, red and rosé wines with each vintage. The winery also offers accommodation alongside its wine shop: six air-conditioned rooms, a swimming pool and garden lounge.

Irsai Olivér
Direct, quickly lovable, brisk-paced wine. Aromatic, light white that opens both appetite and mood. The opening glass for aperitifs and friendly afternoons.
Rajnai rizling
Calm, friendly, easy-to-follow white wine. Conversational, light, uncomplicated – a wine that needs no occasion, just the mood. Easy to drink, everyday table wine.
Pinot noir, Cabernet sauvignon
Lively, vibrant, friendly rosé. Summer's best short sentence – salmon pink, fresh, cheerful. For summer occasions, terraces, picnics, where there's no awkwardness, just good vibes.
Olaszrizling
Clean, mineral, terroir-driven white. The traditional voice of Balaton – restrained, straightforward, a reliable reference point. For meals and dinners, when wine has character but doesn't overpower the food.
Fehérburgundi
Elegant white wine that doesn't shout but convinces. The quiet lead of the dinner – creamy, balanced, long finish. Perfect with poultry, fatty fish and soft cheeses.
Chardonnay
One specific vineyard, one specific vintage, one specific vision. Elegant, full-bodied, complex white wine – minimal intervention, maximum terroir. The flagship of the single-vineyard white line.
Riesling
Taut, clean, firmly structured wine. Mineral, vibrant, long mineral finish – one of the winery's most distinctive wines. Not frivolous, yet not heavy.
Olaszrizling
More disciplined, deeper, more concentrated white wine. When people are paying attention to terroir – this is no longer just an everyday white, but a serious, place-driven bottling. Varietal character and terroir authenticity were the focus.
Cabernet sauvignon
Characterful, structured red wine – not heavy, but fruity and food-friendly. Medium-full body, fine tannins and long finish. The more approachable side of Balaton red.
Kékfrankos
Deep ruby colour, complex red wine of depth. Tannic, spicy, deeply fruity – the crown jewel of the single-vineyard red line. With silky tannins and long complexity that proves the southern shore can do serious red too.
