Balatonboglár lies mainly along Lake Balaton's southern shore. Its moderately warm continental climate brings 1,950 to 2,050 sunshine hours, average annual temperatures of 10 to 10.5°C, and 600 to 800 mm of precipitation. The wines combine fruitiness, concentration and drinkability, with ageable red styles among them.
