Do not miss Thummerer Egri Bikavér Grand Superior 2021 (from our cover photo). It is a wine from the prestigious Nagy-Eged mountain and it is a blend of Kékfrankos, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Syrah and Kadarka. The grape varieties were fermented and aged together for 18 months. This method resulted a concentrated and complex palate.
“Our highest quality Egri Bikavér wine, with every step of the process planned well in advance: in 2008 we planted the grapes in one of our best vineyards, with the actual proportion of the components. The vineyard of the southern slopes of Nagy-Eged is the best option to achieve the desired complexity, and due to the mixed plantation, we can harvest all the necessary ingredients of the blend at the same time.”
The wine is a superb partner of sophisticated pork and beef dishes.
