Characteristics
The region is known for elegant, mineral-driven wines with restrained aromatics, fine texture, and a distinct salty character that expresses the unique terroir. To highlight and protect this style, leading producers introduced the Csopak Codex in 2012—a strict quality trademark applied only to wines from 40 designated top vineyards. These wines must come from ripe (but not overripe or botrytised) grapes, meet specific acidity and alcohol criteria, and follow regulated release times. The Codex wines represent the purest expression of Csopak’s terroir and tradition.
