Szeleshát Winery
The Szeleshát Vineyard is located on the plateau of the Alsónyéki Hill, where the Mecsek Hills meet the Great Plain. This estate, with a total size of 55 hectares, is currently cultivating grapes on 30 hectares. The family acquired this special land in 1998 from over 50 different landowners, eventually uniting it into one contiguous area. It is located in the southernmost part of the Szekszárd Hills.
The name "Szeleshát" is derived from the easterly wind that always caresses the hill. The wind circulation is due to the constant exchange between the cool air from the valley and the dry, warm air masses of the Great Plain. This leads to cooler nights and significantly lower summer rainfall compared to the surrounding areas, making it an ideal location for viticulture.
The vineyard’s first vines were planted in the autumn of 2001. The main grape varieties grown are Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Kékfrankos, Syrah, and Pinot Noir. The vineyard is known for its excellent terroir and has been producing high-quality wines since its inception.
