Pannonhalma wine region

Our estate, “CSERI,” is closely connected to the timeless symbol of the phoenix. This mythical creature reflects the spirit and philosophy of our winery. Inspired by the still relatively undiscovered wine region of Nyúl, in the Pannonhalma area, the name “Phoenix” was born. To rise like a phoenix — to be renewed and brought back to life — is a fitting metaphor for our journey.

Riesling rules

Riesling is a key variety for us, and we enjoy exploring its many faces. Within a single vintage, we produce several styles: a Mosel-inspired off-dry wine with residual sugar, a fresh stainless steel-fermented version, as well as barrel-aged and spontaneously fermented wines. This results in a diverse and exciting Riesling range to taste.

Some of our wines are aged in our old vaulted cellars, where time plays an important role in shaping their character. The result is a selection of wines in bright, beautiful colors — from pale gold through rosé to deep ruby — reminiscent of the phoenix’s feathers.

Wine tourism with a flexible approach

We warmly welcome guests for wine tastings and aim to stay flexible. On Friday and Saturday afternoons, we are open to even small groups of two, while for groups of ten or more, tastings can be arranged on any day of the week with prior notice. Tastings can be accompanied by light snacks or more substantial cold dishes, always discussed and arranged in advance.

Concentrated yet fruity, complex thanks to the different harvest times, with lively, vibrant acidity.

Kancellár Estate

Hungarianwines.eu — Mon, 20 Oct 2025 11:15:58 +0000

Somló

A young estate with huge impact

Kancellár Birtok is one of the youngest wineries in the Greater Somló wine region. Ferenc Horváth, Chancellor of the Somló and Environs Wine Route Association and Order of Wine Knights, together with his family members, launched the wine estate of Somló and its surroundings in 2014, which were then 11 hectares, now cultivating grapes on 22 hectares and producing characteristic wines from Somló. “Making Somló wine should only be done responsibly. We are committed to the place of production, the terroir. In addition to the geological, climatic and other conditions, we believe that terroir includes the respect and rich experience of the people who work here.”

Black varieties are also grown

The vineyards stretch across the mountain ridge from southwest to northeast in renowned vineyards (Szent Ilona, Ragalja, Séd, Szent Márton) in excellent locations. We harvest Juhfark, Hárslevelű, Furmint and Olaszrizling grapes from our “old” vines. The newly planted Irsai Olivér, Cserszegi Fűszeres, Kékfrankos and Cabernet Franc vines have started to bear fruit recently.
Our cellar has 1,100 hl of fermentation and storage space, with refrigerated and heated stainless-steel tanks. Our wines are bottled, sealed and labelled on site, on our own bottling line. In 2018, our winery underwent major developments: we increased our storage capacity and expanded with a wooden barrel fermentation and ageing cellar. We built a new grape processing area, a bottle ageing cellar, and a warehouse for the finished products.

What does ChatGPT have to do with a wine?

Though Kancellár is a young estate, it has collected several important international accolades from contest like Decanter World Wine Awards, Mundus Vini, Concours Mondial de Bruxelles, etc. The Somló winery was all over the international wine press when, in May 2025 it was selected the best white wine of Concours Mondial de Bruxelles – an incredible success for a Hungarian white wine.
When a wine comes from the volcanic Somló, our smallest wine region, in Hungarian we can say it is ‘somlói’ or, in a bit rural or archaic way we can say it is ‘somlai’. However, the capital letters ‘AI’ clearly refer to Artificial Intelligence, with reason. It is a result of a pioneering experience: the owner’s son entered all the data of the grapes in ChatGPT, and the programme responded with 22 pages, giving instructions regarding the proportion of the wines in the blend. The result is a Furmint-based blend with Hárslevelű, Juhfark and a hint of Cserszegi Fűszeres.
Tasting note: “Straw yellow colour, appealing, fresh nose. Linden flower, tropical flowers and citrus fruits are abundant and coexist in harmony. Medium body, mineral notes and refreshing, white flesh fruits on the palate. The finish is zesty and youthful as well. Blended by AI and aged in bottle by us.”
No wonder, 2021 vintage of SomlAI was sold out quickly.
