The story
The Kristinus estate is located in Kéthely and, according to various sources, has produced award-winning wines since 2005. Over the years the property has also been developed as a hospitality and experiential hub: the vineyard and winery are complemented by dining, a small wine hotel and a wine cinema. Some official and trade sources report the adoption of biodynamic practices in recent years and a transition toward more sustainable cultivation.
Production philosophy
Kristinus is strongly committed to sustainability: low-impact viticulture, attention to soil health, and the use of biodynamic principles, with the aim of intervening as little as possible in the raw materials to produce expressive, distinctive wines.
