ST. ANDREA Egri Bikavér Superior 'Áldás' 2022

St. Andrea Áldás is a Superior quality Bull's Blood that embodies everything a great Bikavér should be, showcasing the minerality of the Eger terroir.

This Hungarian red wine offers a deep and complex nose with aromas of cherry, red berries, and a hint of liquorice root. Its savoury, cool-climate style features notes of ripe bramble and leafy black fruits, complemented by hints of oak, chocolate, and sweet smoked spice. The soft, ripe tannins and fine acidity make it an excellent choice for food pairing.
