From the aspect of quality, the wines of the wine region cover the full circle of possibilities provided by legal regulations. Thus we can find in the wine region white and red wines of protected origin, quality wines, regional wines and table wines; the production of rosé and Siller wines is also gaining grounds.

This wine-region was the first to establish the regulation of the production of wines belonging to the "Protected Origin" category, bound by strict individual terms, with the approval of the Wine Community, which was announced by the Minister of Agriculture and Regional Development with Decree number 130/2003. (XII.31.). Thus Debrői Hárslevelű , Egri Bikavér and Egri Bikavér Superior , specified in the decree, can be produced and marketed only if the strict grape production and wine-making conditions are abided by.

Wines of protected origin

Debrői Hárslevelű

The basic materials necessary for the production of this wine can only be produced from gapes produced in the Debrő district, according to the specification of the regulation, to which wine made of white grapes can be added in 14% which also satisfies the quality requirements of the basic wine. The earliest the new wine can be marketed is the first day of February of the year following the harvest.
The colour of the wine is golden yellow; in its fragrance and flavour, the linden flower and linden honey features, characteristic of the type, dominate. The magic of this wine is hidden in its richness of aroma and harmony of ingredients.
We recommend that it be consumed with dishes made from young poultry and light desserts, at the right temperature (14 °C degrees)

Egri Bikavér

According to several surveys, Egri Bikavér is one of the best-known Hungarian red wines both domestically and abroad. By all means, of the wines produced under the same name, the most quantity is sold of this wine, between 75-85 thousand hectolitres every year.
The basic materials necessary for the production of the wine can be produced only from wines made from blue grapes produced in the Eger district of the wine region, as well as originating from the areas of the Verpelét Wine Community specified in the Rules and Regulations, meeting the specifications listed in the regulations, with the proportionate joining of three types of wine. The melded wine is to be mellowed in oak barrels, and can be marketed only after the first day of November of the year following the harvest.
It is a noble drink with a ruby red colour, spicy fragrance and aroma. Depending on its blending, a wide spectrum of fruits can be detected in the dry wine of round acids but still showing masculinity, with a mellow flavour complex and velvety harmony. We recommend that it be consumed at the right temperature (15-17°C degrees), with Hungarian-style and spicy game dishes.

Egri Bikavér Superior

The raw materials necessary for the production of this wine can be produced only in the Eger district of the wine region, within that only in blue grape plantations with grape cadastre over 300 points, by abiding by the minimum must level (18-20 M/M) and maximum production quantity (80 q/ha) described in the rules and regulations. The wine, which is to be produced through the proportionate blending of at least four kinds, is to be mellowed in oak barrels and is to be bottled after the first day of November of the year following the harvest, following preliminary classification. After mellowing in bottles for six months, and following yet another classification, the wine can be marketed.
The vitality of this wine can already be guessed from its colour. In its warm, spicy fragrance, the different fruits are mixed, with is completed by a harmony nice in flavours, fine structure and round tannins, with a long and playful subsiding.
We recommend also that this wine be consumed with Hungarian-style and spicy game dishes but it is in fact grilled dishes made of game that bring out the values hidden in this wine. We recommend that it be consumed chilled at 15-17°C degrees.
