Eger is one of Hungary's most storied wine regions, set among the volcanic hills of northern Hungary. Famous for its bold red wines — especially Egri Bikávér (Bull's Blood) — the region also produces elegant whites and rosés. The volcanic soils and continental climate give Eger wines their characteristic freshness and spice. Key grapes include Kékfrankos, Kadarka, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Olaszrizling and Chardonnay.
