Olivér Weingartner grew up with a family vineyard on the north side of Lake Balaton but wanted nothing to do with it as a kid.
It took a summer job in a Swiss vineyard to change his mind, after which he trained at the Bründlmayer Estate in Austria, where he developed his grounding in organic and biodynamic viticulture. In 2019, he returned to Hungary and took over the winemaking at 5 Ház Borbirtok on Somló's north slope, working four hectares beneath the ruins of a 13th-century castle, and launched his own natural label in 2020.
His wines are made with wild yeasts, no additives, and are unfined and unfiltered. Somló is one of Hungary's smallest wine regions, built on a solitary volcanic hill with mineral-rich basalt soils and a microclimate that historically produced wines so distinctive they were once called "wedding night wine" for their reputed restorative properties.
The Multi Kulti is his field blend pét-nat rosé: over 35 varieties co-fermented together, a wine that could only come from this hill.
