AboutKristinus Wine Estate
Kristinus Wine Estate is based in Kéthely, on the southwestern side of Hungary’s Lake Balaton. It began farming biodynamically at the end of 2018, using natural preparations in place of synthetic sprays, herbicides and fertilizers. Cows and other animals joined the farm from 2020, with their manure used in vineyard preparations. The cellar follows a low-intervention approach, and the estate’s wines include pétillant naturel sparkling wine.
