Story: The wine won gold medal at Eger Wine Region Wine Competition in 2019 and silver medal at National Wine Competition in 2019. The label was inspired by a photo of the towers of Eger rising above the city. The design is made by Bence Fajcsák (Color and Code design), and he recommends to see the label in different light, because it shows different colours for example outside in the sun or inside a room. The towers of Eger are mentioned visually to refer to ’Tornyos vineyand’ (meaning Vineyard of towers).

After a short time the typical fragrance of the variety, sour cherry appears as well. Fine tannins and glycerin – alcohol gives great texture and makes it harmonious however its young acids vibrate in the forefront.
