Burger – Havas & Timár Pincészet

In Hungary when we talk about a winery being small, we really mean small—which might be hard to understand for those who have visited wineries in bigger countries. Balázs Havas and László Tímár, best friends since childhood, started this winery in 2008 with one hectare of land (about two acres). Since then they have not acquired any more land, they prefer to purchase grapes for some of their wines, such as this one. It is rare to find a wine made from the Blauburger grape alone, since this variety is mostly used as an addition to blends, for the purpose of deepening the color of the finished wine. In Eger, nobody owns enough vineyards of Blauburger to make single-varietal wines from it. So, the only way to produce a 100 percent Blauburger is to source it from the very few grape growers who still have it.  This wine is made from hand-picked and hand-selected berries, which were sourced from two vineyards: Ferenc-hegy and Rádé. The wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks at a low temperature (22 celsius) for four weeks, and then had a short period of aging in tanks before bottling. This wine is a bomb of freshness and fruit, with aromas of cherry candy, blackberry juice, and sour cherry yoghurt. The winemaker once confessed to us that he even likes to add a little so…

One of Hungary’s red wine bastions, Eger, the home of Bikavér (aka Bull’s Blood), also boasts a diverse geological make-up which includes rhyolite tuff. It is also Hungary’s northernmost red-wine-producing region. Historic vineyards planted on these volcanic rocks make some of the biggest, fieriest wines in the region. As in Tokaj, this tuff lends itself perfectly to the carving of cellars. It hosts 99 percent of Eger’s cellars, including networks of passages dozens of miles long and the famous cellars under the city’s fortified castle.

Although historically a white wine land like its volcanic counterparts, red varieties displaced the whites and finally after the blight of phylloxera, Eger’s flagship red blend, Egri Bikavér, attained a worldwide reputation at the start of the 20th century. Winemakers here take this traditional blend seriously.
It has improved tremendously and has little in common with those past Bikavér’s which were exported to the West during the Communist-era of mass-produced wine. Varietals that find their way into Bikavér are Kékfrankos (Blaufrankish), Pinot Noir, Portugieser, Merlot, and Kadarka, and all of these are also bottled as single varietal wines.

At the start of the 21st century, Bikavér gained a white partner, Egri Csillag (‘Star of Eger’). Approximately 50 percent of the region’s vineyards are planted with white grapes and as no one variety dominates, so it was logical to make Egri Csillag a blend, in keeping with the region’s traditions. It is a very variable blend based on Carpathian-basin varieties, such as Olaszrizling, Hárslevelű, Leányka, Királyleányka, Zengő, Zenit and some Hungarian crossings. A minimum of four of these varieties must be included and make up at least 50 percent of the blend and each must represent a minimum of 5 percent. The blend may also include up to 30 percent of fragrant Muscat varieties, such as Cserszegi Füszeres, Zefír, Irsai Oliver, Tramini and Muscat Ottonel. With their blend of history, volcanic minerality, and native varietals, there’s a lot to explore in Eger’s cellars.

Havas & Timár Winery is a small winery in Eger, founded by two long-time friends—Balázs Havas and László Tímár—in 2011. Balázs, a Budapest native, is the winemaker and oversees the vineyards. The pair started out with no vineyards of their own. But today they own one hectare (2.5 acres) of land in Eger and they buy the rest of their grapes from local growers, with the quality strict controlled by Balázs. Before switching to winemaking (and studying it at Corvinus University in Budapest) Balázs had a career in hospitality, with nature being a particular passion of his. He loves that winemaking allows him to follow both his passion for nature and for wine.
