Nagy-Eged Hill

Unlike the major part of the Wine Region, its soil is not rhyolite, but gray Triassic-limestone with calcareous based sediments.

As a result of the continental climate and diverse soil composition it is possible to produce both red and white varietals.

The Eged Hill is the place where the warmth of the Plains meets the cool air of the Bükk Mountains, forming a special microclimate.

In the marl dotted soil of the limestone mountains, the roots of the vine stretch down to 10 meters trying to find water.

Grape Varieties: Viognier, Pinot blanc, Chardonnay, Kadarka, Kékfrankos, Syrah, Merlot, Pinot noir, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon[8] Kovács Nimród Winery has a 10 hectare vineyard lying on the top right corner of the Nagy-Eged Hill.

Grape Varieties: Furmint, Kékfrankos, Pinot noir, Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Merlot[9] St. Andrea Winery owns 4 hectares in the lower part of the Nagy-Eged Hill.
