About the winery
Almagyar Érseki Szőlőbirtok was established in 2009 to rescue a 100-year-old vineyard plot. Alongside the 3.5-hectare estate, the Csutorás winery has been operating since 1933, founded by Ferenc Csutorás Sr. In the exceptional tufa cellar beneath the Almagyar hill, natural wines are produced through spontaneous fermentation with minimal technological intervention. The cellar's constant 13-15°C temperature and closed microclimate provide ideal aging conditions.
From the estate's 11.5 hectares, we harvest traditional and revived grape varieties: Érseki, Olaszrizling, Furmint, Leányka, Kadarka, Kékfrankos, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, and Menoir. Our wines, produced from exceptional vineyard sites near Nagy-Eged – Almagyar Hill, Pajdos, Síkhegy, and Kerekszilvás – have won numerous domestic and international awards. In 2014, Borkemping and Venyige Spa opened, featuring a wine terrace, comfortable bungalows, and caravan facilities.
Grape varieties
Current range
multi-varietal
A balanced blend of Carpathian basin grape varieties from the Almagyar vineyard. Harmonious, medium-bodied wine that is pleasant to drink in all seasons.
Olaszrizling
A southern clone planted in 2011 that consistently produces excellent results every year. Rich wine born from the interplay of sugar and acidity, crowned with spice from the terroir.
Kékfrankos
Fresh, vibrant acidity grows on the tufa soil of Pajdos vineyard, ideal for rosé. Aged in oak barrels, then matured for six months before bottling.
Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir has been at home in Eger for over a hundred years. From vineyards in Kerekszilvás, Síkhegy and Almagyar. Early ripening produces fresh acidity and spice, creating a light wine.
Kadarka
Menes clone grown in the Almagyar vineyard. Delivers richness and flavor intensity that once established the fame of Eger's wine region. Dense yet easy-drinking.
multi-varietal
Based on Kadarka and Kékfrankos, with Menoir and Pinot Noir. We reintroduced the spice profile of bikavérs from a century ago. Each component fermented separately, then blended after one year of aging.
Menoir
A rare precious variety producing distinctive wine. Characterized by special aromatic profile, beautiful body and lively acidity. The elegant ruby color flows beautifully down the glass.
Cabernet Franc
The Kerekszilvás vineyard has belonged to the Csutorás family since 1968, planted in 2003. Every tannin, flavor and aftertaste is perfectly in place. Created in memory of Ferenc Csutorás Sr.
Pinot Noir
Síkhegy's southern aspect and 310-meter elevation reliably ripen the wine's sugars and tannins. Its high extract requires barrel aging, becoming fuller-bodied yet elegant in bottle.
Kadarka
Based on Menes and Ludtalp grand superior Kadarka with 5% Pinot Noir and 10% Menoir. Made from the traditional Csutorás vineyard that has consistently delivered excellent quality for decades.
Kékfrankos
Wine from Kerekszilvás vineyard delivering outstanding quality for decades. From a special, likely Burgundian clone planted by grandfather Csutorás. The traditional vineyard produces excellence every year.
multi-varietal
First harvest from the rescued Érseki vineyard on Almagyar hill. Shows what flavors and varieties the historic Eger winemakers worked with. A journey back in time combining terroir's light richness, cherry-plum freshness and elegance.
