About this product
From a single volcanic-soil vineyard in Eger, Merengő is one of Hungary's finest red wines: a Bikavér Superior of depth and complexity, led by Kékfrankos with Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Dark cherry, spice, mineral, and a long, structured finish that challenges European benchmarks at its price point.

Paprika's warmth and caraway's spice resonate with Bikavér's own spice character; pork's richness is cut by the wine's acidity while sauerkraut adds the fermented tartness that bridges the wine.

complement
Hungarian tradition connects Bull's Blood with the country's aged sheep's milk cheeses; quince paste bridges the wine's dark-fruit character while the cheese's sharpness provides the contrast that extends the finish.
