Terroir

• The Móri-árok is a tectonic fault line running between the Vértes and Bakony mountain ranges, which leaves its mark on the wine region's microclimate and prevailing wind direction.
• The relief was shaped by Upper Pliocene–Quaternary geomorphological processes, producing witness hills capped with gravel, longitudinal ridge backs, articulated piedmont surfaces, and gently sloping foothill areas.
• The great majority of soils are clay-illuviated brown forest soils and brown earths developed on loess, on loess mixed with limestone debris, and on Oligocene sand, while rendzina soils are found on dolomite and limestone.
• The climate of the wine region is favourable for viticulture, though cooler than average, with mild winters and high air movement throughout the year; the mean annual temperature is 10 °C.
• The landscape is characterised by moderate light conditions and annual precipitation of 600–650 mm, with the most rainfall in summer and the least in February and March, and the prevailing wind direction is north-westerly.

• Hungarian wine law has classified the cadastral vineyard parcels of class I and II within the municipal boundaries of Mór, Pusztavám, Söréd, Csókakő, Zámoly, and Csákberény as part of the Móri wine region since 1996. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
• During the socialist era, the Móri State Farm was founded in 1949, the Mór Viticultural Research Institute in 1950, and in 1960 the production cooperatives merged under the name Kossuth Tsz. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
