One of the best known is certainly connected to the besiegement of the castle of Eger during Ottoman times, when Captain Dobó and those defending the castle were emboldened by red wine. The attackers were frightened by the Hungarians drinking bull’s blood, which was why they could fight against the superior force with such courage; thus, they ended up losing the battle. There are numerous versions of this story. According to the official version, the first mention of the connection between Bikavér and Eger wines was in a book of proverbs in 1851, which states: “Bikavér is the name given to strong red wine, such as that from Eger.” Jenő Gröber first wrote down the recipe for Bikavér in 1912 and is therefore considered its father. At that time, the blend consisted of Kékfrankos, Portugieser (Oportó) and Menoir (Medoc Noir). He is also credited with the spread of the Medoc Noir variety in Eger, which yields a unique aromatic style with notes of Muscat. Three types of Bikavér wines are made in Eger: Classic, Superior and Grand Superior. The organoleptic evaluation required to market these wines is carried out by the local wine district’s judging committee. Egri Bikavér has been listed as a ‘Hungarikum’ since 2017.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"CaskCartel.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42994318803082,"sku":"","price":53.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/files\/77_74c0e3ae-c4df-4a3b-85b3-52f982efb273.png?v=1686178887","url":"https:\/\/caskcartel.com\/en-hr\/products\/egri-bikaver-bulls-blood-nv","provider":"CaskCartel.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
