Many people automatically think of Tokaj when Hungarian wine is discussed. Tokaj has always been the prestige region of Hungary, producing sweet wines of rare intensity. But dig a little deeper and you will find amazing dry whites and reds as well. Not least the amazing Egri Bikavér.The family Thummerer is a top quality Eger producer. The family bought the cellar from the state in 1992 (the state had actually confiscated it from a count in 1949).
100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Following their Hungarian traditions, the Tummerer Winery only makes the Superior, which is a top wine of the Bikavérs, when the vintage is at its most outstanding. The beauties of 2006 vintage were engaged with 50% Carpathian Basin and 50% world varieties. Bottled after 17 months aging, though the aging will continue for some time in the bottle. The winery is located in Noszvaj, 12 km from the center of Eger. The 2,000 sq. meter cellar, which was once an estate manor, was carved out by hand from the volcanic tufa rock. The old cellar with a new, 2,200 sq. meter cellar system that was also hewn from the volcanic tufa rock. The temperate and balanced climate of the cellar provides ideal conditions for wine aging.
"Our Superior Selection Cabernet Sauvignon wine reminds us of the signs of serious, great red wines even at the first sight. The dark ruby ??color is paired with a rich, spicy flavor in which scents reminiscent of peppers and ripe raspberries are also easy to discover. The excellent acid balance is covered by an elegant dry red wine with silky tannins full of flavor, which has been greatly enriched by the aging in wooden barrels. Consumed at 18 C, it provides a unique experience paired with dishes served with beef and vension." - Thummerer
