Gyönk Tolna wine district Founded in 2008
Where wine speaks the voice of the earth
About the winery
Grál Borpince is a third-generation winery founded by Mucsi Zalán in 2008 in Gyönk, in the heart of the Tolna wine region. It began in a restored press house from 1880 with just one barrel of Kékfrankos in its first year—which yielded 300 bottles sold within two days, sparking serious winemaking ambitions.
The winery produces handcrafted, organic wines through spontaneous fermentation with minimal intervention. Grapes have been cultivated pesticide-free from the start, with yield restrictions of 1–1.5 kg per vine. Kékfrankos is the flagship variety, sourced from both old and young Austrian clones, complemented by Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Kadarka, and Rajnai Riesling. Some wines mature in traditional clay amphorae, preserving the winery's connection to ancient winemaking traditions.
