In March, one of the most legendary varieties of Hungarian wine, Bull's Blood, will be in the spotlight at Time Out Market Budapest. Four defining wineries will be arriving from Szekszárd and Eger, and the series will conclude with an exciting blind tasting.
The flagship of Hungarian red wines, Bull's Blood is made from a blend of several grape varieties, the backbone of which is usually Kékfrankos, accompanied by Kadarka, Merlot or Cabernet. It is a spicy, fruity, complex wine whose character varies with each winemaker.
Szekszárd and Eger interpret the same wine style in two ways: the former is rounder, fruitier and silkier; the latter is tighter, spicier and cooler in character. Guests can taste this difference throughout March.
