Grand Superior terroir in the village of Noszvaj which is located in the Eger wine region, in Central Europe, Hungary. The Eger region has a cooler climate, which is similar to Burgundy or to the Northern Rhône wine regions. The continental climate and diverse soils make it capable of producing both red and white varietals.
The terroir
