Kolónia 52 is a small, biodynamic estate on Hungary’s Szent György-hegy, led by Annamária Török and Attila Francisti. Farming 3 ha of volcanic basalt soils, they craft low-intervention wines from Pinot Noir, Kékfrankos, Welschriesling and native grapes. Manual harvest, native ferments, no sulfur, and gravity-led élevage in neutral oak and amphora define their pure, expressive style.
The Balaton wine region surrounds Lake Balaton, Central Europe’s largest lake, and is known for fresh, mineral-driven wines shaped by volcanic soils and a moderating lake climate. Key areas include Badacsony, Balatonfüred–Csopak, and Somló.
Signature grapes: Olaszrizling (Welschriesling), Furmint, Kéknyelű, plus Kékfrankos.
Expect crisp whites, smoky minerality, and vibrant acidity, with a growing natural wine scene.
