Wines often show a harmonious blend of power and elegance, with both freshness and depth. Kéknyelű, a rare local variety, symbolizes the region’s uniqueness and historical identity. The region produces wines with refined acidity, mineral structure, and good ageing potential. Strong focus on terroir expression and site-specific wines, alongside fresh, approachable styles like BalatonBor.
