Etyek-Buda makes light-bodied still and sparkling wines that are full-flavoured and high in acidity. Limestone soils and a cool climate shape the area, where Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Pinot Noir are important varieties. Etyeki Pezsgő is a separate protected designation from Etyek-Buda. The two sparkling-wine names follow different designations.
