Eger

Eger (pronounced “eh-gair”) is one of Hungary’s most iconic wine districts and is celebrated for its legendary red blend of Kékfrankos and Kadarka, known as Bull’s Blood, which was inspired by the resilience of local defenders during the 16th-century Turkish siege. Set on limestone and volcanic soils, Eger’s cooler climate creates high-acid, fresh wines that are complex and spicy. With centuries-old cellars and a rich heritage, Eger remains a top destination for bold, flavorful Hungarian wines.
