i. Biography
Bence Laposa’s work sits inside the discipline of wine and the authority of place. Craft learned in Langenlois, in Austria’s Kamp Valley, feeds into winemaking in Badacsony, where traditional, local grape varieties and a focus mostly on white wines define the frame. The throughline is practical: training, region, and grape choice all shaping the same body of work.
Coming Up
Chairmanship of Balatoni Kör places Bence Laposa in a role that speaks directly to regional identity. The title signals more than administration; it marks the point where years of learning the craft in one wine region now meet the responsibilities of shaping it in another. Badacsony remains part of that working vocabulary, alongside the practical knowledge gained in Langenlois, in Austria’s Kamp Valley.
Where They Are Now
Balatoni Kör is the current seat of Bence Laposa’s work, and chairman is the position that defines it. The role gathers together the parts of his practice that matter most here: regional ground, traditional and local grape varieties, and a focus mostly on white wines. It is a concise expression of a winemaking approach built on clarity of method and attention to origin. Badacsony and Austria’s Kamp Valley mark the two poles of that formation. One supplied the learning, the other the working context; together they describe a winemaker shaped by study and stewardship rather than by spectacle. In Bence Laposa’s case, the present role at Balatoni Kör extends that same discipline into leadership.
