Villa Sandahl was founded in Badacsony 2004, by two Swedish brothers with their families. The winery produces wine on the higest volcanic hill on the northern shore of Lake Balaton, on the Badacsony hill. From the beginning Villa Sandahl focused on producing excellent quality wines and nowdays has become one of the best Riesling producers in Hungary.
Villa Sandahl cultivates 10 hectares vineyard on the most valuable sites of the Badacsony hill. The soil stucture of the hill consists mainly volcanic stones and its typical mineral nature can be maximally felt in the wines. From what can be seen, Riesling goes extremely well with the Badacsony soil.
Rhine riesling has naturally higher acidity and ripens slower in the autumn, and seems to be the optional choice in the bit hot and dry vineyards. The exceptional microclimate of Lake Balaton, the special terroir and the Alsace-origin winemaking technology and philosophies combine to the unique and inimitable winestyle: exciting, rich aromas,mineral, fragrant, elegant and full-bodied wines which are fresh and crisp in their youth, and powerful to improve for many years in the bottle.
