Dániel Konyári

The Path

Winemaking at Konyári Winery has been Dániel Konyári’s work since 2003, and the value of that long tenure is familiarity with a single site rather than distance from it. In Balatonlelle, the family estate has given his career its frame: year after year, the practical task has been to learn the vineyard’s pace, the cellar’s demands, and the specific conditions that shape the wines there. At various points, he also managed the winery together with his father, János Konyári, keeping the operation within a family structure that has remained central to the estate.

The Work Today

The present work is still winemaking, carried through a role that has continued from 2003 to the present. That span points to a practice built on continuity, where the work accumulates through repeated seasons rather than through abrupt change. At Konyári Winery, Dániel Konyári’s responsibility sits inside the estate itself and inside the family framework that has defined it, requiring technical attention while staying tied to the character of Balatonlelle.

Signature

The signature wines associated with Dániel Konyári are Fecske Fehér 2023, Szárhegy 2020, Loliense fehér 2025, and Rosé 2023. Read together, they show the range of the estate’s output under his hand, with each bottling marking a distinct point in the winery’s ongoing work. They sit within Konyári Winery’s broader identity while also serving as the clearest published markers of his own practice.

In Their Words “A 100 years ago, there was similar pastureland and a flowery meadow here as the one on the label. We are trying to restore these meadows on a small scale, on a few hectares in the area.” The comment places the label in direct contact with the land it refers to. It points to a small-scale effort to restore meadowland in the area, and it frames the estate as something that works with landscape memory as much as with production.
