National Pálinkas of Excellence Program

The GONG Pálinka House is located in the county of Csongrád and started its operation in the town of Deszk in autumn 2017. Amongst a family friendly atmosphere, surrounded by fruit trees it became a true playground – in the most noble meaning of the word – of flavours, aromas and fruits. In the tastefully designed show distillery the visitors can follow the distilling process and of course participate in professional tastings as well. In 2019 at the Destillata International Spirit Competition, held in Austria they acclaimed the Hungarian National Winner title and made it into the European family of excellencies. The professional feedback is important for them, hence they take part in several competitions. Their achievements also show and confirm that the careful handling of the fruit and the determination for quality are rewarded. The fruit is sourced from their own 8-hectare of fruit orchards as well as from the neighbouring areas from small growers. Their irresistible pálinkas are produced by selected fruit, distilled in the continuous column. Beside the usual flavours, consumer can find true pálinka specialties as well, since their mission and passion are to showcase the pálinka culture, as broad as possible.

The Pálinka Manufactury of Gyula began to operate in the autumn of 2008. The majority of the process is done by hand, while several modern machines are also used, yet the proper care accompanies the path of the pálinka throughout. In 2012 the estate expanded with 15 hectares of fruit orchards. In 2015 several fruits have been planted such as: forest dogberry, mulberry, quince, plum, mahaleb cherry, apricot, Williams pear and apple tree. The future goal is to make pálinka out of own fruits, thereby increasing the quality of the pálinka. At present 56 different types of pálinka is made by the manufactory. Product families: Pálinka of Gyula, Baron Harruckern, Mélyvíz (Deep water) pálinka, ”Bedded” pálinka, Kosher pálinka.
