ST. ANDREA Egri Cuvée Grand Superior 'Mária' 2019

The premier white wine of the award winning St Andrea winery, this elegant blend of Chardonnay and Furmint is from the Grand Cru terroir of Nagy-Eged Hill.

It opens with an intense aroma of ripe peach, mango and pineapple, followed by tertiary notes from the oak ageing. The limestone sub-soil of Nagy-Eged Hill shines through on the palate, creating a crisp and elegant, mouth-filling wine. The powerful fruit aromas are accompanied by a rich mineral character, ending in a long and complex finish.

Food Pairing

Serve it with fish and seafood dishes or pair it with marinated pork chops or a creamy vegetable casserole. Washed-rind cheese such as Epoisses and Limburger will also be a great match.
