Hungary - Pannon

The wines marked with the Belward name are made in the border of Hásságy , a beautiful small village near Pécs in the heart of Baranya  .

We planted nine grape varieties on 33 ha in the historic wine region, so that we could make an independent batch from each one.

When choosing varieties, quality and following traditions were the only considerations, so we mainly deal with white wine grape varieties.

Family heritage is a bond and a responsibility. To make wonderful wines in the Tokaj wine region is gratitude and humility. Living in peace with nature and caring for it is a duty and a responsibility. Walking through the vineyards and enjoying the moment with a glass of wine is harmony.

Staying true to nature is the core of our philosophy, both with regard to viniculture and in the process of making quality wine. We believe that Mother Nature has already figured out how to do things the best way, and it is possible for us humans to work in harmony with her. We do not trust the fancy “panaceas of winemaking”, however, we firmly believe that the grapevine will repay the care we invest in its cultivation, with the production of fine grapes. After several years of work, we have learned how to take good care of our vineyard, and decided that the organic (also called bio) agriculture method is the way that best suits our philosophy. In practice, this means that we do not use any insecticides, herbicides, and absorbable fungicides, instead we supply the grapevine with natural compounds that strengthen the immune system of the plant. It is hard work to stick to our beliefs, and the expenses pile up quicky, but we are convinced that the sensation of an outstanding bottle of wine is worth all the effort.

We continue to pursue the ideas of naturalness in the process of wine production. Only the finest grapes will be processed, which contain the necessary nutrients and yeasts that will enable us to produce wine without using additives or cultured yeasts. We use only natural ingredients, and we are continuously monitoring the unique attributes of grape varieties. Our wines only contain what the grapes, the terroir and the vintage have provided for us. The grapes are hand harvested and put into wooden crates, they are carefully selected and – in the case of red wines – the wine is fermented in vats for 10-20 days, while going through traditional Pigéage, after which it is drained into high quality Hungarian, American or French oak barrels.

Producing red and white wines from the same area is a particularly challenging task. We would like to create terroir-specific character wines based on traditions and, at the same time, follow the requirements of today’s quality winemaking. We make our wines with traditional and natural methods, and are led by affection and vocation. We pay special attention to the traditional varieties of our wine region, such as Olaszrizling, Hárslevelű, Furmint, Kadarka and Kékfrankos.

Hárslevelű

Kékfrankos

The modern lines of the winery, which blends into the hillside of the picturesque Lajvér creek valley, reveal a fantastic, brand-new and even more modern illustrative winery. The building’s straight lines and angular shapes spectacularly highlight the landscape, while the interlocking stepped contours engage in an exciting dialogue with the hillside terraces.
Our function room, which opened in August 2017, awaits our dear guests who would like to choose our function room as their wedding venue.

In addition, it can be an excellent venue for exclusive dinners, family events, conferences and, of course, wine lovers with wine tasting and cellar visits.

We make exciting, naturally living wines from our own organically grown grapes without filtering or clarifying or adding other substances.
