Bükk

Bükk (pronounced “byook”), the smallest wine district in Upper Hungary, is sometimes overshadowed by neighboring Eger and Tokaj but stands out for its fresh, lively whites like Leányka and Olaszrizling. Known for volcanic and limestone soils, Bükk’s wines offer bright acidity and minerality. Recently, a focus on natural wines has brought renewed energy to this historic region, especially around Miskolc’s Avas Hill, known for its extensive cellar network and deep wine heritage.
