Celts and Romans already produced grape in the Mór wine region. The first written record of the locality comes from the times of Béla I. During the Turkish period, the grape culture disappeared and was only revived in the 17th century thanks to the German settlers and the Capuchin friars who came with them. They brought new methods in grape production and planted the ezerjó type as well.

Ezerjó – considered a “hungaricum” today – beaome the most important grape of the Mór wine region after an outbreak of philoxeria (a disease) in the 19th century. Ezerjó is a hard, late ripening type of wine – in general, the wines of Mór are masculine kinds for their high acid content – it develops totally for the third year after harvest when it gains its characteristic taste.
Apart from Ezerjó, the most common grape types today are Leányka, Tramini, Rizlingszilváni, Zöldveltelini and Chardonnay.
