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: Local wine
Table wine, but with the origin indicated. It corresponds to a particular legislation: the freedom to use grape varieties is greater than for the AOC, but the quality criteria such as the approval tastings can sometimes be more demanding. The legislation is still evolving, but for the moment there are three levels: regional (e.g. Vin de Pays d'Oc), departmental and local (e.g. Côtes de Thongue).
