At the time of building the monastery, the Benedictine monks having settled on the Sacred Hill of Pannonia in 996 also revived the viticulture of the region originally introduced by the Romans. 50 years after the confiscations following World War II, the Pannonhalma Archabbey and MBH Bank (formerly known as MKB Bank) returned to this tradition by creating new vineyards and a winery.

Two-thirds of the newly planted vineyards are devoted to white varieties (mainly Riesling) and one-third to reds (especially Pinot Noir). The cellar technology fits the composition of varieties and is based on gravitational material movement. The winery has a capacity to produce up to 400.000 bottles of quality wine a year.
