Egri Bikavér - Bull's Boold of Eger |
|
Hugary's most famous red wineIn the cellars of Eger, one of Hungary's most attractive towns, surrounded by many sunny slopes, the world-famous, heart-warming, ruby-red Bull's Blood has been matured for centuries. This wine, made from grapes grown in the Eger wine region, owes its distinctive flavour and aroma to special climatic conditions and a growing area based on volcanic soil. Its distinctive character results from the blending of several grape varieties, combining, for instance, the full-bodiedness of the Blaufrankischen, the spiciness of the Cabernet Sauvignon, and the velvetiness of the Merlot. The harmony between the various wine components is achieved during ageing in oak casks in wine cellars carved into the famous Eger tuff. It is rightly said that: The Bull's Blood of Eger stands among its fellow red wines like a deeply glowing, blood-coloured ruby in the centre of a coronet adorned with brilliant gems. / www.kertnet.hu / Budapest Hotel Booking - Check availability and best rates |
