The wine region of Eger
Emblematic Hungarian region in the north, home of the legendary Egri Bikavér ("Bull's Blood"). A blend of fleshy, spicy reds with signature notes of black cherry, ripe plum, paprika, sweet spices and tobacco, round tannins. Mandatory base of Kékfrankos (Blaufränkisch), blended with fruity Kadarka, peppery Cabernet Franc and supple Merlot. Also Egri Csillag in white ("Star of Eger"), fresh and aromatic.
The word of the wine: Solera
A method of maturing practiced in Andalusia for certain sherries, which aims to continuously blend older and younger wines. It consists of stacking several layers of barrels; those located at ground level (solera) contain the oldest wines, the youngest being stored in the barrels on the upper level. The wine to be bottled is taken from the barrels on the lower level, which is replaced by younger wine from the upper level, and so on.
