About the winery
Csutorás Winery is a family-owned operation whose roots trace back to the 1770s, when Serbian settlers introduced viticulture to Eger. The current winery was founded in 1933 by the family patriarch and has been led by Ferenc Csutorás Jr. since 1999, returning to historic Eger grape varieties through research and tradition: goose-footed Kadarka, round-leaf Kadarka, and Menoire. The estate gained additional prominence in 2020 with the publication of a comprehensive history of Egri Bikavér.
Natural wines are produced in volcanic tuff cellars where unique microclimate and constant temperatures support traditional techniques: aging and fermenting in wooden vats and barrels without added sulfur. Notable bottlings include the Aranycsapat Puskás Wine Family, Archbishop's Noir, Grandfather's Wine, and Kislányom Furmint.
Grape varieties
Current range
Hárslevelű, Királyleányka, Tramini, Olaszrizling
A balanced blend of Carpathian basin varieties from the Pajdos vineyard. Harmonious, medium-bodied wine that is enjoyable year-round.
Olaszrizling
Clone from the southern regions planted in Pajdos in 2011. Rich wine born from the interplay of sugar and acidity, crowned with spicy terroir character – an unusual trait for Riesling.
Furmint
A true curiosity: Furmint grown in the Pajdos vineyard. The vintage brought out its special character on this volcanic soil.
Furmint
Sweet wine made from carefully selected late-harvest grapes. The botrytized fruit creates a rich, honeyed character.
Furmint
Made similarly to Tokaj's Szamorodni method. A truly special wine with exceptional residual sweetness.
Pinot Noir, Menoire, Portugieser
Our rosé's distinctive feature is that we ferment it in wooden barrels and age it for six months before bottling.
Kadarka
From the Síkhegy vineyard. First harvest of goose-footed Kadarka replanted in 2023. Its spicy character is a delicacy born from the harmony of terroir and variety.
Kadarka
"Secret wine" from Kerekszilvás. A blend of goose-footed and ménage Kadarka varieties. The spice comes from goose-footed, the body from ménage.
Kadarka, Menoire, Pinot Noir
60% goose-footed Kadarka, 20% Menoire, 20% Pinot Noir. A truly special wine reflecting the 19th-century Egri Bikavér blend. Goose-footed Kadarka forms the backbone, Menoire adds spice and body, Pinot Noir provides silky structure.
Kékfrankos, Menoire, Pinot Noir
Based on Kékfrankos from the historic 1968 Kerekszilvás planting. We restored the spice character of 19th-century Bikavér with Menoire. Pinot Noir (once called Burgundy locally) provides silky roundness.
Kékfrankos, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, Menoire
From grapes grown on the peak of Síkhegy, one of Eger's finest vineyards. A full-bodied, harmonious red from Kékfrankos, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc, spiced with Menoire.
Kékfrankos
Eger's oldest vineyard, planted by grandfather and father in 1968. A proprietary selection that produces outstanding quality fruit every vintage.
Olaszrizling
Our first sparkling wine, made from Olaszrizling. After five months aging in wooden barrels, it was transferred to the prise de mousse method.
