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: Downy mildew
Disease of the vine due to a fungus. Downy mildew is formidable because it attacks all the organs, from the stem to the grapes, including the leaves, in depth. It was against it that the famous copper and lime-based Bordeaux mixture was developed.
