With its many vineyards and world-famous grapes, Hungary is an excellent destination for those who want to taste quality local wines. We can rightly be proud of Hungarian wine production, as it has a long history and many key regions have their own specific wine varieties.
It is characterized by varied terrains
The Hajós-Baja wine region is a Hungarian wine region located in the south of the country, north of the Telecskai Hills. It is bounded by the Danube on the west and the river's sandy ridges on the north and east. The area is characterized by diverse terrains, which provide excellent conditions for growing grapes and making quality wine. Hills and open valleys are ideal locations for planting vineyards. The region is located at an altitude of 150 meters above sea level. Historical sources show that the history of winemaking in the Hajós-Baja wine region is closely related to fishing. During the 18th century, Germans settled here and brought their winemaking expertise with them. Today, the wine region is divided into two sub-regions, Hajós and Baja.
Lots of sunlight
The climate of the Hajós-Baja wine region is continental, with hot summers and cold winters. Due to the low altitude of the region, frost is common in the spring and autumn months. The average temperature of the region is 12 degrees Celsius, the number of average annual hours of sunshine exceeds 2000. Its soil is predominantly a layer of clayey sand, with brown forest soil, chernozem, meadow and alluvial soils. Due to the topography of the Hajós-Bajai region, the wines here are soft and have a low acid content. They produce a variety of wines, ranging from dry wines to ice wines. Most are light, fruity and fresh, some with more spicy aromas.
Special terrior
A typical terroir of the region is loess during the cold Pleistocene. It is a wind-blown sediment that has finer grains than sand and is slightly clayey. Its carbonate content is excellent for growing grapes. The unique terroir is reflected in the wines made in Hajós-Baja, which are made in small quantities and are definitely different from the wines of other Hungarian wine regions. They are notoriously spicier and the red wines are extremely warm. These red wines are the most recognized wines in the region. The blue franc, cabernet sauvignon, zweigelt, bianca, Cserszeg spice, chardonnay and royal grape varieties all create this.
What to see here?
In Baja, Szentáromság tér is home to many historical buildings and monuments. One of the most famous sights of the square is the Old Town Hall, which was closed in 1873. In the basement of the building is the House of Hungarian Wines, which boasts wines from a wide range of Hungarian winemakers across the border. Petőfi Island in Baja was named after the poet Sándor Petőfi. It is connected to the center of Baja by the Sándor Petőfi Bridge spanning the Sugovica River, which is one of the most magnificent bridges in Hungary. Petőfi Island is an island paradise and offers many activities including water sports and swimming.
