LAJVER Szekszárdi Bikavér Premium 'Signum' 2020

The flagship premium Szekszárdi Bikavér from Lajver Winery is a bold Bull's Blood crafted from selected grapes that represents their vision for the region.

This wine features a Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, complemented by native varieties Kékfrankos and Kadarka, resulting in an elegant vintage that is both cosmopolitan and distinctly Hungarian.

It offers an intense aroma of freshly brewed espresso and grated dark chocolate, balanced by fruity notes of blackberries and ripe raspberries. It is full-bodied, showcasing supple tannins, a round mouthfeel, poised acidity, and rich dark berry flavours, enhanced by the tertiary notes of sweet spices and toasted elements from oak barrel aging.

Food Pairing

This versatile red wine pairs wonderfully with steaks, grilled meats, and vegetables. For an authentic experience, consider enjoying it with traditional Hungarian dishes like goulash soup, hearty stews, or Baracskai semi-hard ash cheese.
