Eger is a very rich wine region with a medieval past.

The highest alcoholic, sugar and acidic wines of the country are born in Tokaj-Hegyalja. The secret of this wine should not be found separately in climate, location or soil conditions but in their combined effect. The long, humid and sunny autumn is beneficial for shrivelling mature grapes.
