St. Andrea Merengő Egri Bikavér Premium

Egri Bikavér, Hungary
St. Andrea's flagship Premium Bikavér from single hillside parcels above Eger; Kékfrankos dominant with Kadarka, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot on volcanic tuff. Dark cherry, paprika, thyme, and volcanic mineral depth — a wine that challenges the simplistic 'Bull's Blood' reputation and reveals Hungary's red wine potential.
