The family-based bio winery with 15 hectares can be found in central Hungary. It is located on the northern shore of Lake Balaton. The wine region is called ’Balatonfüred-Csopak’. The terroir is quite special: the micro-climate is affected by the tempering influence of the Lake, while the soil is mainly lime- and marlstone from the Triassic Age. The site is famous for Balatonites that is a genus of extinct cephalopods whose shells are covered with radial ribs. Zelna wines strive to express the characteristics of this terroir as fully as possible. The main grape varieties are Olaszrizling, Pinot Gris, Merlot and Zweigelt.
