Upper Pannon

Once significant in wine production, the Upper Pannon region has declined in prominence. Its cool climate and Danube River location facilitated early development, with a rich cultural and winemaking heritage dating back to Roman times. Renowned for high-acidity white wines, it's minimally affected by global warming. Wines are transitioning to fuller-bodied profiles, with expanding sparkling wine production and exploration of Pinot Noir potential. Spanning varied hills and soils, it cultivates grapes across 5,500 hectares, from Kékfrankos to Chardonnay.

The main grape varieties grown in the Upper Pannon region are Olaszrizling, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc. The region is known for producing crisp, dry white wines with high acidity and mineral notes.
