James Suckling, one of the world’s best-known wine critics, once again gave high points to the St.Andrea wines. This is what he says about their scoring system: “A wine that we rate 90 points or more is outstanding (A). It’s a wine we want to drink a glass of and is an outstanding purchase. If we rate a wine 95 points or more (A+), it is a must buy and a bottle that we want to drink in its entirety!”
ST. ANDREA EGRI CSILLAG GRAND SUPERIOR BOLDOGSÁGOS 2021
93 points
Saying that this is simultaneously powerful, crisp and aromatic might make it sound like a white Rhone, but it has a totally distinctive personality with delicate floral notes in spite of considerable textural complexity. Still really youthful, this will undoubtedly mellow beautifully with another couple of years of bottle maturation. Crisp finish. A cuvee of olaszrizling, sauvignon blanc, harslevelu, pinot gris, furmint and chardonnay. Drink or hold.
ST. ANDREA EGRI BIKAVÉR GRAND SUPERIOR NAGY-EGED DÜLÖ 2018
93 points
Deep yet bright nose that’s brimming with red fruits, overlaid by a glaze of fine toasty oak. So fresh and lively on the medium- to full-bodied palate that it’s really hard to believe this has 15.5% alcohol thanks to the ample velvety tannins. Long, creamy and dry finish. A cuvee of kekfrankos, cabernet franc, merlot and blauburger. Drink or hold.

A beautiful maturing red that shows what Bikaver can do if the producer takes it seriously. Stacks of sour cherries and wild blackberries, but also delicate dried herb aromas and a touch of allspice. Long, elegant finish that pulls you back for more. A cuvee of kekfrankos, merlot, syrah, kadarka and pinot noir. Drink or hold.
