St. Andrea Aldás Egri Bikavér is an excellent red wine from the famous wine region of Eger, a historic town in Hungary. Eger is globally known for its baroque old town, spa resorts, and the legendary 'Egri Bikavér', or 'bull's blood' wine, which has given the region its name. This premium Egri Bikavér is a unique blend of seven grape varieties: Merlot, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Kékfrankos, Blauburger, and Kadarka.

The wine then ages for 12 months in the bottle before leaving the cellar, resulting in a well-balanced, modern red wine with excellent flavor. The St. Andrea Aldás Egri Bikavér has an alcohol content of 14%, giving it a powerful yet refined character, perfect for any wine lover seeking both quality and tradition in a bottle. Enjoy this impressive wine from Eger and experience the refinement of Hungarian 'bull's blood'.
The St. Andrea Áldás Egri Bikavér is a beautiful wine that presents itself in the glass with a deep, ruby red color. Upon pouring, a vibrant bouquet of fruity aromas emerges, with dominant notes of ripe blackberries, subtly supported by a hint of cocoa powder. This combination of fruit and minerality makes the aroma complex and inviting. On the palate, the wine is tight and well-structured, yet it has a soft, round finish. The ripe tannins give the wine an elegant character, while the fresh acidity, typical of the Egri style, brings a lovely balance. This wine has excellent aging potential and will develop even more complexity in the coming years. The St. Andrea Áldás Egri Bikavér is an ideal companion for dishes such as pork, duck, or goose, which complement the wine's rich flavors. For the best result, it is recommended to serve the wine at a temperature of 16 to 18°C, so that the aromas and flavors can fully unfold.
The Eger wine region is located in the northeastern part of Hungary, at the foot of the Bükk Mountains. This area offers an excellent terroir for both red and white wines, with unique opportunities for viticulture. The cool climate of the region is clearly reflected in the wines of St. Andrea, which are characterized by rich aromas, lively acidity, subtle elegance, and a well-balanced tannin structure. The soil is varied and complex, with a foundation primarily consisting of rhyolite tuffstone of volcanic origin, complemented by limestone, zeolite, sandstone, marl, clay, and slate. This soil imparts a powerful character to the wines. In addition to international grape varieties such as Merlot, Pinot Noir, and Syrah, the Eger wine region also grows indigenous varieties such as Kékfrankos, Blauburger, Turan, and Menoir. For white wines, the most common grape varieties are Olaszrizling, Chardonnay, Királyleányka, and Hárslevelű.
