Mátra: Best wineries, wine tastings and wines

What is the secret of wines produced in the Mátra wine region?

The Mátra wine region is located in an area bounded by the Tarna and Zagyva rivers, and it is spread out in an east-west wide strip of about 15-20 km. Hungary's second largest wine region provides excellent grape-growing opportunities for producers, thanks to the alternation of chernozem-brown forest soil and brown soil, and the optimal climatic conditions.

On the southern slopes of the Mátra Mountains, the fruits never lack sunlight, and the mountain range shields the vineyards from cold northern winds. In addition, the mountains capture much of the precipitation, so in this region, which had a significant wine culture by the 14th century, there is no need to worry about damage from excessive rainfall.

Since about 2/3 of the grapes are white varieties, lovers of white wines primarily find what they are looking for in this wine region, but lovers of red wines will not be disappointed either. Mátra wines are characterized by rich flavors, fine aromas, and balance, so no matter which variety you choose, a characteristic taste is guaranteed.
