Aranybástya wine selection – classics and specialities

The Aranybástya offers a wide selection of wines, including both iconic examples of Hungarian wine culture and rarer specialties. Here are a few favorites worth mentioning:

1. Egri Bikavér

The pride of the Eger wine region, with a famous legend attached to it. During the siege, Hungarian soldiers bravely drank the red wine, which the Turks mistakenly believed to be “bull’s blood”, thinking that it would make the warriors stronger. The basis of Bikavér is mostly Kékfrankos and Kadarka, supplemented with other native grape varieties. A characterful, full-bodied wine that can be an excellent accompaniment to an elegant dinner.

2. Tokaj wines

The Tokaj wine region is one of the world’s most famous wine regions and is justly renowned for its unique winemaking traditions. Aranybástya includes Szamorodni (in both dry and sweet varieties), Fordítás, and Máslás, as well as the world-famous Tokaji Aszú and Eszencia. These wines not only represent the pinnacle of gastronomy but also preserve our cultural heritage.
