Rescued heritage grape varieties, natural wines from Eger's tufa cellars
About the winery
Almagyar Érseki Szőlőbirtok was established in 2009 to rescue a 100-year-old vineyard plot from the Almagyar hillside. The 3.5-hectare estate works with rescued heritage Eger grape varieties alongside carefully selected clones, including Olaszrizling, Mézesfehér, multiple Kadarka selections, Furmint and Menoir.
The Csutorás winery, founded in 1933, ferments its natural wines in tufa cellars with a stable microclimate using spontaneous fermentation and minimal technological intervention. Guests are welcomed at the on-site Borkemping and Venyige Spa, which features a wine terrace, comfortable bungalows, and views of Nagy Eged.
