Hungarian Wine
Torley Vineyards
The Bikavér (Bull's Blood) blend, exclusive to the Eger and Szekszárd regions, is the best-known of all Hungarian wines. Legend has it that the name originates from the unsuccessful siege of Eger by the Turks in 1552, when the heavily outnumbered Hungarians had nothing to drink but red wine. This proved to be to their advantage, their red stained beards and wild eyes terrified the Turks, who thought they had been drinking Bull's Blood
Torley Talisman Bull's Blood is a rich style of wine, with dark fruit and ripe plum aromas balanced with black pepper notes and autumnal leaves.
