The wine region of Szekszárd
Southern Hungarian region, land of velvety, spicy reds. Signature Szekszardi Bikaver (local "Bull's Blood"): a blend of dominant Kekfrankos (Blaufrankisch) and native Kadarka, with signature notes of ripe cherry, plum, paprika, hibiscus, tobacco and sweet spice, velvety tannins and southern roundness — softer and sunnier than Eger's. Also peppery Cabernet Franc and dense Cabernet Sauvignon. Mild Pannonian climate, loess soils over limestone.
The wine region of Dél-Pannónia
Southern Hungary (Pécs, Szekszárd, Villány, Tolna), ~7,800 ha on loess and limestone, continental climate with Mediterranean influences — bastion of great Hungarian reds. Kékfrankos and Kadarka signatures as native red kings: spiced and structured with black cherry, blackberry, plum, paprika, pepper and smoky hint, firm tannins. Ripe Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon in Bordeaux blends at Villány. Specialities Szekszárdi Bikavér and unique Cirfandli white at Pécs (spiced, honeyed).
The word of the wine: Alcoholic fermentation
Transformation of sugars into alcohol under the effect of yeast. These yeasts exist in their natural state in the vineyards and in the cellars. Artificial seeding with selected yeasts is however very often practiced.
