Szabo Vineyards

The roots of the Szabo family lie in the town of Eger, Hungary, where there have been vineyards since Roman times and where they produce the famous Egri Bikaver (Bull's Blood) wine. Legend has it that name Egri Bukaver originated during battles with the Turks in 1522. The people of Eger were so successful in repelling the Turkish invasion that it was rumored they had been given red wine mixed with Bull's blood. A genetic predisposition for full-throttled, robust red wines led Sandor (aka Alex) Szabo to develop a great appreciation for the finest European wines. His desire to produce only the best quality grapes and ultimately the best quality wine is derived from this experience.
