Description
Grand Superior Bulls Blood (Bikavér) – flagship dry red wine from Thummerer Winery. protected designation of origin
The soil at Nagy-Eged-hill vineyard, is quite different from the soil elsewhere in the Eger wine region. It is suited for a fairly strict yield limitation that helps towards a highly concentrated wine. However there is also a higher concentration of limestone in the soil, that also provides a distinct character to the wine.
Only the most outstanding vintages produce Grand Superior, which is the top category of the Bikavér (Bulls Blood) at Thummerer Winery. The five varieties of Kékfrankos (Blaufrankische), Cabernet franc, Merlot, Syrah, Kadarka have all been harvested at the same time. They were then fermented and followed by a 27 months barrel ageing process in Hungarian Oak barrels.
Alcohol content: 14%, acid content: 4,8 g/l.
Pairs beautifully with beef and wild games such as grilled steak with potato strudel.
