The republic of Hungary is 1026 years old today, since our first king, Szent István (Saint Stephen) was crowned on this day, on the 20th August in 1000. We have a lot of great quality sparkling wines to celebrate, and – even better – several of them are available in magnum format. Béres Brut Magnum 2022 is a traditional method sparkling made of 100% Hárslevelű.

Drop of life

Béres Tokaj is an estate with a true Hungarian story, a history every Hungarian can be proud of. The label of each Béres wine has the shape of a drop, not by accident. Béres Drops is pharmaceutical product that helps people live a healthier life not only in Hungary but beyond our borders as well. The inventor, Dr. József Béres Sr. was “a healer of the soil, of plants, of animals, and then of people.” His life was not easy, he had to fight for his invention and for many years he was not allowed to produce it. His son, József Béres is a seasoned wine enthusiast, he founded Béres estate, and then the inventor’s granddaughter, Melinda Regéczy-Béres was in charge with her husband. Now Melinda is head of communication at the pharmaceutical company of the family, and her husband, Dávid Regéczy is the managing director of the estate – and certainly the whole family is still involved.

So tasty!

“Extremely vibrant, lively, and vibrating, yet full and elegant sparkling wine made from 100% Hárslevelű. Dry, fresh, yet with a very rich palate with hints of apple, pear, peach, citrus, and rhubarb with a strong minerality that lingers in the finish along with grapefruit-like citrusy and tart green apple characteristics.” – this is the description of the sparkling wine by the winery. Well, even if you are not a rhubarb fan, don’t be afraid! This sparkling wine is stunning, juicy, so delicious, that you will surely ask for another glass.
