The Mór Wine Region, “home of strong wines”as well as “home of the ‘ezerjó’ (thousand virtues)”, lies on the southern and south-western slopes of the Vértes Hills near to the Mór dykes. Another of the smaller wine growing regions, with only five vineyards in addition to Mór: Csákbarény, Csókakő, Pusztavám, Söréd, and Zámoly.
The Celts and Romans cultivated the grape here and the first written reference to the settlement dates from the reign of Béla I (11th century). During the Turkish Occupation the grape cultivation did out and it wasn’t until German settlers, and with them Capuchin monks, arrived in the 17th century that it was brought back to life: they created a new style of grape growing and thanks to their efforts we have the famous Mór Ezerjó variety of wine.
Since the 1960’s, new varieties have been cultivated. The characteristic wines of the area besides Ezerjó are Irsai Olivér, Királyleányka, Leányka, Rhein Riesling, Rizlingszilváni, and Green Veltelini.
