St. Andrea Akutya Fáját 2020
The St. Andrea Akutya Fáját has a deep, ruby-red color that reflects the power and intensity of the wine. Once the bottle is opened, an enchanting aroma of strawberries, plums, and rose petals is released, immediately stimulating the senses. The taste is refreshing and well-balanced, with fruity notes of dark red fruits like cherries and berries, complemented by a subtle spiciness characteristic of the Syrah and Turán grapes. The finish is pleasant, with a long, dry aftertaste that lingers. This wine is particularly versatile and pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes. Its fresh and fruity qualities make it perfect for combinations such as roasted chicken with herbs and vegetables, duck, or foie gras, which enhance the rich flavors of the wine. Aged cheeses, such as old Gouda or Brie, create a harmonious balance of flavors. It also pairs well with pasta dishes with rich sauces, such as Bolognese or mushroom sauce. Thanks to its fresh acidity and balanced fruit profile, the St. Andrea Akutya Fáját is also an excellent choice with lighter dishes, such as grilled salmon or vegetables. For the optimal tasting experience, it is recommended to serve the wine at a temperature of 16-18°C, allowing the aromas to fully unfold while maintaining its fresh character.
This unique winery, with its special red and white wines, is located in Eger, Hungary, at the foot of the Bükk Mountains. The cool climate, volcanic soil rich in slate, tuff, zeolite, clay, sandstone, and marl contribute to the creation of characteristic wines. The terroir of Eger offers exceptional possibilities for viticulture. The terroir is well expressed in the wines of St. Andrea, particularly in their acidity, rich aromas, and soft tannins.
