To spread Egri Csillag’s fame to a higher level, we wanted to make a more complex and exclusive one, with the same characteristics. We kept Tramini and Zenit for a fruity base, as in the Classic one, but for the nice acids, we added Leányka and Chardonnay. After gathering the grapes, we fermented them in barrique barrel – during the process, we used 10% new barrels – where we left the juice in them for half a year. Thanks to this method, we received a more bodied dry white wine, which has significant flavors which can be matured in the bottle for years. Best with fish-based dishes and charcuteries, or on its own as a follower of a summer night chatting, Cooled down to 10-12°C.

Characteristics
Looking at white wines, there are two different styles that complement each other. On the one hand, many producers make lean, dry, primary fruit-driven wines with high acidity, while others produce wines from high-quality varieties that are matured in oak, have higher alcohol and are maybe bottled with a touch of residual sugar. The rich aromatics makes the former appealing, while the latter are appreciated for their full-bodied, fleshy structure and oily smoothness.
