Eger Eger wine district Founded in 2016
Family winery in Eger dedicated to natural winemaking and authentic experiences.
About the winery
Daróczi Pincészet is a family winery established by parents who relocated from the city to the countryside to create a life based on authentic values for their child. Operating on four hectares in the Tóbérc vineyard and Andornaktályán, they grow both international and Hungarian grape varieties. The cellar, located at the foot of Szépasszonyvölgy, practices natural winemaking: avoiding herbicides, employing spontaneous fermentation, and using no additives.
Since 2020, they have also operated an apartment in Eger's city center, offering accommodation to guests who come to taste their wines. Their goal is continuous learning and experimentation to create increasingly refined wines that embody their passion and expertise.
Grape varieties
Current range
Furmint, Sauvignon Blanc
A cuvée of Furmint and Sauvignon Blanc. The former provides body and fresh acidity, the latter contributes spice and playfulness. Enjoyable on its own, refreshing when mixed with soda, and excellent with salads and fish dishes.
Kékfrankos, Merlot
A semi-sweet rosé cuvée made from the juice of fully ripe grapes. Fresh, bright acidity, medium finish, extraordinarily fruity with red berry characteristics. Perfect to lift your mood at the end of a long day.
Merlot, Kékfrankos
A dry rosé cuvée, spontaneously fermented and bottled without additives. Lively acidity and long finish characterize it. Light yet substantial, perfect for garden parties and summer evening dates.
Kékfrankos, Merlot
A dry Kékfrankos-Merlot siller. Hand-harvested grapes macerated on skins longer than for rosé but shorter than for red wine. Darker colour and more complex flavours characterize it. Enjoyable on its own, a more serious wine, yet refreshing in warm weather.
Cabernet Sauvignon
A dry Cabernet Sauvignon dedicated to Piroska, grandmother. The 2019 vintage was blessed with fine weather and was a beautiful year. After three weeks of skin maceration, most went into tank, smaller portion aged in new barrique. Full-bodied, complex, yet surprisingly fruity.
Merlot
A dry Merlot, the first bottled red wine. Named after grandfathers. Hand-harvested, perfectly ripe grapes, spontaneously fermented with hand-punched-down maceration for about two weeks. Ruby colour, rich fruit aromas. Sour cherry, cherry and plum burst from the glass. Excellent acidity structure makes the wine ethereal.
Kékfrankos
A dry Kékfrankos varietal wine. Excellent hand-harvested base material macerated for three weeks with continuous hand punch-down. Spontaneously fermented with minimal residual sugar. Sour cherry and morello cherry return in aroma and taste. Aged in small barrels for one year before bottling. Excellent with food but rewarding on its own.
Kékfrankos, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon
A dry red cuvée. The name refers to the family's fraternal bond. The 2018 vintage was an excellent year. Hand-harvested and spontaneously fermented everything. Merlot aged in tank, Kékfrankos in used oak, Cabernet Sauvignon in new barrels. Easy-drinking, overwhelmingly fruity, medium-bodied blend. A safe choice for beef and pork dishes.
Kékfrankos, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah
Egri Bikavér, youthful, easy-drinking, fruity wine. Kékfrankos provides bright acidity and fruit, Cabernet Sauvignon ensures body and depth, Merlot contributes fruitiness and elegance, Syrah adds peppery and spicy notes. Medium body, moderate alcohol. Enjoyable on its own, pairs well with stew and goulash.
Kékfrankos
Pétnat sparkling wine from Kékfrankos must, produced naturally. Nothing added, nothing taken away. Spontaneously fermented, bottled without filtration, clarification or added sulphur. Opens easily without popping, best served well chilled.
Syrah
A Superior category Syrah that met strict wine region standards and was unanimously approved in blind tasting. Hand-harvested grapes, spontaneously fermented, macerated for four weeks. Half aged in new barrels, half in used barrels for 12 months. Intense, deep colour. Medium body, moderate alcohol, spicy, aromatic flavour profile. Excellent with grilled and roasted meats, wild game stews.
