Örökke is St. Andrea’s estate white, a blend of characterful varieties sourced from multiple vineyard sites across Eger.
Soils range from volcanic tuff and clay to limestone and shale, offering natural complexity and tension. Grapes are harvested and vinified separately, with whole-bunch pressing used for Furmint and Pinot Gris, while the other varieties are destemmed. Fermentation takes place in a mix of stainless steel and oak barrels, followed by careful blending and ageing.

𝗙𝗨𝗡 𝗙𝗔𝗖𝗧! Egri Csillag, meaning Star of Eger, takes its name from a famous Hungarian historical novel that was first published in 1899. The plot follows the adventures of Bornemissza Gergely, a boy who grows up to become a defender of the Eger castle, and his love, Éva Cecey, who tries to enter the besieged fortress. The novel is a staple of Hungarian literature, known for blending history with themes of love, loyalty, and sacrifice.
