Királyudvar controls the entire spine of Nyúlászó, which rests at the western end of a chain of hills located along the outskirts of the village of Mád. Naturally protected by its surrounding forests against the northern winds, the basin retains higher humidity and stores more heat than the surrounding areas during the growing season. A gentle creek that traverses the vineyard helps direct the October fog into the basin.

Along the spine, the well-drained soil retains little water which helps stress the vines in a healthy manner. Years of erosion have left behind a high concentration of minerals in the coarse soil from volcanic activity that occurred millions of years ago. The resulting smaller berries contain a higher concentration of fruit flavor and a spectrum of finer acids when compared to berries grown in heavier clay soil. A distinctly elegant and aristocratic feel emerges from the Nyúlászó terroir.
