Pale pink colour with an intense aroma of sweet spices, strawberries and juicy redcurrants; a touch of herbs. The palate is creamy with well-integrated alcohol and flavours of sweet candy and peaches. The wine is balanced with fine acidity, which allows the sweet spices and fruit to shine. A well-made wine with a long finish.
Food Pairing
Thanks to its fruitiness, this wine will be a great accompaniment to roast duck with plum sauce or pasta dishes, especially those with tomato-based sauces. For a match made in heaven, try with an indulgent black forest gateau and experience a delightful warmth and a perfect harmony of flavours.

Vesztergombi Winery, Szekszárd - Protected Designation of Origin (PDO)
The Vesztergombi family looks back on a centuries-old tradition of winemaking in the region around Szekszárd in southern Hungary, where the River Danube meanders between rolling hills and fertile valleys. This scenic setting provides the perfect conditions for growing red grapes with character. The Vesztergombi winery was re-established in 1991, resurrecting the long-held family tradition. Its first Bikavér (Bull's Blood) was released in 1993, the year when founder Ferenc Vesztergombi was awarded the prestigious “Winemaker of the Year” title in Hungary. Today, with three generations working together in the business, the winery continues to produce outstanding red wines that authentically reflect the unique terroir of the Szekszárd region.
