BOLYKI Egri Csillag 2023

Egri Csillag is the white wine equivalent of the famed Egri Bikavér, and this refreshing and joyful blend is the perfect choice for warm summer days. 

A dry white wine made by combining native Hungarian varieties with Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling, it has an enticingly floral aroma rounded out by juicy citrus notes. Lively acidity with a crisp palate of white fruits and peach ends in a chalky, mineral finish.

Food pairing

Beyond the obvious fish and seafood choices, try pairing it with a meaty gourmet pizza. Washed-rind cheese such as Appenzeller, Epoisses and Limburger will also be great matches.
