Muzslai Terroire

The wine region along the Danube operates as a distinct viticultural area with its own unique identity. It has a sub-Mediterranean climate, and its bedrock is predominantly volcanic. In the Muzsla wine-growing area, the volcanic soil contains limestone and green clay.

  • Annual precipitation is only 520-550 mm, making it a particularly dry region.
  • Muzsla's Nagyhegy (Great Hill) stands at 239 meters, and the vineyards are generally located between 100 and 250 meters above sea level.
  • Grape cultivation covers approximately 250 hectares in the Muzsla wine-growing area.
  • While walking through the vineyards, one can discover fossilized shells and snail imprints in the sedimentary rock, remnants of the Pannonian Sea that once covered the Carpathian Basin.
  • Muzsla is located in southern Slovakia, in Nitra County, within the Nové Zámky district, halfway between Nové Zámky and Štúrovo.
  • The village spans 5,196 hectares and has a population of 1,912.
  • The earliest written record of Muzsla dates back to 1156.
  • Thanks to its unique soil composition, Muzsla stands out among the other wine-growing areas of southern Slovakia.
