Hungary: Bull’s Blood
“Eger is the biggest wine region in Hungary, and of course Bull’s Blood its most popular wine. A lot like Châteauneuf-du-Pape in the Rhône Valley, many grapes are permitted in Bull’s Blood. Eleven varieties can be mixed freely, but regulations state that Bull’s Blood must contain at least three different varieties, and no single variety can account for more than 50% of the blend.

St. Andrea Cellar, amongst whose range (left) is a Bull’s Blood called Merengo, ambitiously pitched as an ‘icon wine’, selling for 40 Euros locally, and being offered ‘en primeur’. “
