Egri Bikavér 2017 Magnum
The backbone of our Bikavér wine is the spicy, firm acidity of the Kékfrankos grape, in keeping with the tradition of the wine region. The aromatic richness and perfect harmony is provided by fruity Kadarka, vanilla Merlot and violet Cabernet Franc. The wine becomes truly filigree with its playful acidity, good tannins and subtle notes of oak ageing. Spicy and fruity character at the same time. Vibrant, yet easy to understand. A complex, full-bodied harmonious wine with great potential for several years.
