Kovács Nimród Winery - 2016
The winery is part of the row of cellars on Verőszala utca located in the historic district of Eger, Hungary. Hundreds of press houses identical to the seven adjacent buildings of the winery were all over the town already in the 18th century. Press houses were built right in front of the cellars to allow for on the spot vinification.
We endeavor to create world class wines, that most compellingly reflect the unique characteristics of the 3 Grand Superior terroirs we own, in the cool climate Eger wine region.

Nagy Eged Terroir
This is Nagy Eged hill, the only Grand Cru terroir in Eger. We here at the Kovacs Nimrod Winery consider ourselves fortunate to own 10 hectares at this stunning and unique location, the only in Eger to have limestone beneath it.
Ep 9 Wine of the Week 2013 Eldorado Road Quasimodo Shiraz Durif Nero d'Avola
Some wines just work.
This for me is one those ‘sweet spot’ wines that just ticks so many boxes. Smashable, interesting, versatile, well made, well packaged and brilliantly priced… tick tick tick tick tick tick!
We’re big fans of what the Dahlenburg family are doing down at Eldorado Road, and this is one of the area’s more unique drops. A creative blend of Shiraz, Durif and Nero d’Avola from the towns of Glenrowan, Rutherglen and Eldorado respectively, ‘Quasimodo’ is all about the whole being greater than the sum of its parts.
And that it is - it’s richly flavoured but seamlessly balanced and awfully difficult to put down!
The 2012 vintage scored fantastic reviews from James Halliday (96 points) and Campbell Mattinson (93 points), and the 2013 looks every bit another winner.
Less than 200 dozen in existence and such very good value at under $30. We can’t recommend Quasimodo highly enough.

A Kovács Nimród Borászat Egerben a Verőszalai pincesor elején található, kívülről mindössze egy kis présháznak tűnő épület alatt hatalmas, több száz éves tufába vájt pincerendszer bújik meg, ahol nagy odafigyeléssel és szakértelemmel készülnek a borászat remek borai.

Egy sikeres amerikai-magyar üzletember, aki a marketing, majd a kábel-tévézés közép-kelet-európai elterjesztése után neves borászatot hozott létre. Annak idején úszva menekült nyugatra, nem csoda, hogy az élete is egy regény.

Pfneiszl Sopron Kékfrankos - 2007 - 89 Points - James Melendez
I think of a Kékfrankos (Blaufränkisch) as being the closest to rose petals if rose petals tasted good. This wine has notes of seared black plum, focused spice and rose petal. A fantastic wine that is markedly different from other red wines. Low alcohol (13%) and this would be a wonderful wine on any dinner table.
