Formerly the Ostoros-Novaj cooperative winery, this larger-scale Ostoros producer farms a wide varietal range and has collected gold medals at the Challenge International du Vin and Berliner Wein Trophy.
Tasting: Cellar sales and tastings at the Ostoros winery, spanning a wide dry-to-semi-sweet range.
Signature wines: Debroi Harslevelu, Egri Bikaver
Tip: The broadest single-stop range of the Ostoros producers, useful for a fast overview of the district's styles.
Rege Birtok sits away from the main Szepasszony-volgy cellar street on the Nagykoporos road, farming an unusually broad varietal range for an Eger estate that includes Viognier and Sangiovese alongside the region's staple Kekfrankos and Kadarka, and hosting both organised and informal tastings on its terrace.
Tip: The estate's terrace has panoramic views back toward Eger's castle, a quieter vantage point than the crowded viewpoints inside Szepasszony-volgy itself.
