Mokos Winery

Villány wine region - Palkonya

More information: www.mokos.hu

The Mokos family has been present in the Villány wine region for three generations, but the real turning point came in 2010, when we started building our 4500m2 winery. Our 17 hectares of vineyards are planted with both domestic and international varieties typical of the region (Portugieser, kékfrankos, pinot noir, merlot, cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon). Thanks to the loess and red clay soils, the sub-Mediterranean climate and the above-average yield limitation, we produce high quality Villány classicus and premium wines. In our modern processing plant, we produce nearly 250,000 bottles of wine per year, which are perfectly matured in our stainless steel tanks and hundreds of 225, 300 and 500 litre (barrique) barrels. We are constantly improving our winery, so that we always have access to the latest technology, combined with the respect for wine and the care that our ancestors have inherited from us.

DHC MANSION

Villány wine of protected origin can only be made from specific grape varieties harvested in the wine region. The wines of Villány are identified by the words "Districtus Hungaricus Controllatus Villány", which you can also find on the bottles of Mokos Winery, guaranteeing the origin and quality of the wines.

In addition to the traditional Villány red wines, our winery also produces fruit wine specialities. Our goal is to bring this wine speciality, which has become more and more popular in Hungary in recent years, to the consumers. We are proud of the fact that our winery was among the first in Hungary to produce and distribute wine specialities made from 100% domestic fruit and that we have more than a decade of professional experience, the expertise of three generations of winemakers and countless awards behind us. Throughout this time, our gradually expanding range of products, available all year round, and our seasonal limited edition batches have earned the satisfaction of our customers and the commitment to our brand. As a result, Mokos Fruit Wines have become one of the best-selling premium fruit wines in the country, with over 150,000 bottles sold annually.

In 2012/13, our winery received a new, very big boost: opposite the beautiful historic cellar row in Palkonya, on the hillside above the fish ponds, a wonderful cellar theatre was born, where wine and culture meet. This two thousand square metre winery is the jewel of Palkonya and the whole wine region. The building houses a modern wine technology area, a barrel ageing room, a 120-seat tasting room and a wine terrace with unparalleled views, as well as a new event hall. The link between wine and culture is strengthened by a 360-seat theatre and events hall, where we plan a colourful and exciting cultural programme every year. With our presence in Villánykövesd and Palkonya, we aim to enrich the life and services of the wine route and the smaller wine-growing villages, and to show that small villages in the neighbourhood of Villány are also worth a visit for tourists who love wine, gastronomy and culture.
