Szeleshát Szőlőbirtok

Szekszárd Szekszárd wine district Founded in 2001

Premium red wines from the southern Szekszárd wine region, cultivated in the distinctive Szeles-hát vineyard.

About the winery

The history of Szeleshát Szőlőbirtok began in 1998 when the family discovered a completely abandoned yet promising site in the Szeles-hát vineyard in the southern part of the Szekszárd wine region. Vineyard plantings started in 2001 and were completed in 2019. The estate now encompasses 57 hectares of vineyards.

The area's distinctive microclimate gave the vineyard its name: the south-facing slope warms easily, nestled between the cooler valley breeze and the dry, warm air of the Great Plain. The interaction of these two air masses creates the characteristic wind patterns that define the wines' unique character.

The estate's red and rosé wines are produced in a state-of-the-art facility that respects traditional methods. Most red wines are aged in small oak barrels for at least six months in cellars carved into the loess soil, following centuries-old traditions. The cuvées are aged in first-fill barrels for a minimum of 12 months, developing greater complexity and depth.
