Herold Pince Wine Magic
Wrap up with Herold Pince, Pannonhalma’s youngest winery at the abbey’s base in Gesztenyés-horog, next to ancient monastic cellars. This 800-year-old loess and sandstone cellar, once a Benedictine vat cellar, sat unused until the family bought it in 2010. They expanded it into a cross-section marvel with nearly 100,000 bottles stacked by hand like bricks, finalized in 2014. Steady 13°C temps and climate control make it ideal for reductive wines stored in state-of-the-art stainless steel tanks, with select batches barrel-aged based on grape quality.
