Kpo says: The rabbit is riding on the flying saucer!!! A wine that pairs perfectly with Singapore hawker food! |
This Egri Csillag is a refreshing and joyful blend from the Bolyki Winery, made by combining native Hungarian varieties with Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling. It is the white wine equivalent of the famed Egri Bull’s Blood and it is a highly-drinkable choice perfect for long summer evenings.
The enticingly floral aroma is rounded out by citrus notes, followed by a crisp palate of white fruits and peach, ending in a chalky, mineral finish.

Producer
János (“Jani”) Bolyki comes from a family with winemaking traditions, but he has completely re-invented winemaking at the family estate. Known for his interesting blends, wacky labels and friendly wines, Jani is a popular figure in the young Hungarian wine scene. His vineyards encompass 27 hectares of the Eger region, while the cellars are carved straight into the rock-face.
His wines follow the general wine making style of the region, but somehow, each of his wines have a fresh and lively character that make them feel a world apart from older Eger wines. His wines have a distinctly youthful and modern touch, putting a new twist on Eger’s classic style.
