Vida Idyll Szekszárdi Bikavér 2022

An easygoing Bikavér made with bistro tables in mind. The blend leans heavily on Kékfrankos, supported by Merlot, Cabernet, a touch of Kadarka, and even a splash of Syrah. Fermentation and aging in both stainless steel and large-format oak keep things fresh and juicy without sacrificing depth.

Think ripe red fruits, soft spice, and a gentle structure that makes this dangerously drinkable. No tricks, no heavy oak, just a great, everyday Szekszárd blend from one of the region’s most thoughtful winemaking families.

About the Vida winery

Founded by Péter Vida in Szekszárd, Vida Winery is a family-run estate that blends tradition with gentle modern winemaking. With origins going back to the 1970s, their first bottled wine was released in 1990 as one of the first modern pioneers in the region.

Today, the next generation — led by Zsuzsanna Vida — carries on the work with a soft, elegant touch and a clear focus on local grapes like Kadarka and Kékfrankos, alongside the region’s signature Bikavér blends.

With vineyards spread across some of Szekszárd’s most distinctive sites, including the iconic Hidaspetre and Lisztes-völgy, Vida wines are shaped by red clay and loess soils, organic methods, and minimal intervention in the cellar.

The style? Pure, vibrant, and quietly sophisticated. The wines are always polished, never flashy. From fresh, zippy Kadarka to more layered, spicy Bikavér blends, the wines are unmistakably Szekszárd, and unmistakably Vida.
