History
Zsirai Pince farms the southern slopes of Kopasz-hegy in Tarcal, including plots adjacent to the historic Mézes Mály first-class dűlő. Tarcal's southernmost position in Tokaj produces noticeably richer fruit than the northern villages, and Zsirai's proximity to Mézes Mály gives their dry Furmint a distinctive stone-fruit richness.
