Szépasszony valley
Szépasszony-völgy, with some 200 cellars, has been connected with the fame of Eger wines for centuries. The name of the valley is lost to legend. According to Bakó Ferenc ethnographer, "Szépasszony" (Beautiful Woman) was a goddess of pre-historic religion, similar to Venus, the goddess of love. Sacrifices were offered to her at this location. Farmers speak of a famously beautiful woman who used to sell Eger wine in one of the cellars. According to others, the valley was named after one of the light-blooded, beautiful ladies of a noble villa. The origin of the name, as well as the time the first cellars were constructed, cannot be determined by archives. The cellars are carved into the several hundred meter thick rhyolite tufa found in the Eger area. This material can be formed perfectly, and it can maintain wine at the permanent temperature of 10–15 °C. Furthermore, the mosses and noble mould to be found in the cellars establish a unique atmosphere. Helping the mellowing of the wine and the formation of its fragrance.

The most frequently tasted wines in the Szépassszony Valley cellars:

Egri Olaszrizling:
Full-bodied white wine, a harmonic blend of unique mignonette bouquet and almond flavour.

Egri Leányka:
A fine, somewhat delicate, fiery white wine with grape flower bouquet, Egri Leányka is one of the best-known wines of the Eger region.

Egri Muskotály:
Gentle, refreshing white wine retaining the intense bouquet and aroma of the grape varietal.

Egri Chardonnay:
This varietal, grown world-wide, has also set foot in the Eger wine region. The wine it makes is elegant and has a fine, spicy aroma, a blend of fruitiness and barrique aging.

Egri Kékfrankos:
A deep ruby red wine, blending ripe tannin and fruity aromas, most of all, cherry in its flavour and bouquet. The flavour is dominated by fruitiness, rounded acidity and smooth tannin effect. Egri Kékfrankos is the most important component of Egri Bikavér.

Egri Cabarnet sauvignon:
This varietal makes a special wine of deep dark red colour and a velvety tannic aroma. Excellent for barrique aging. Grapes from good harvests should be aged for 5-6 years to yield a full-fledged aroma. The bouquet and flavour is most often that of blackcurrant.

Egri Bikavér:
Egri Bikavér, a registered wine mark, is a blend of at least three wines from different grape varietals.
