Vida Valles Szekszárdi Bikavér 2020

Bikavér with structure and spice — a classic Szekszárd blend with impressive depth and balance. Based on Kékfrankos and Merlot, with Cabernet Franc and a touch of Kadarka for added spice, it’s aged for 18 months in a mix of large and small Hungarian oak barrels, some new, some used.

The result is a layered, complex red full of red berries, dried herbs, and sweet spice. Warm, earthy, and serious without ever being heavy. Awarded top honors in the Hungarian wine magazine VinCE’s big Bikavér tasting, this is a benchmark wine from one of Szekszárd’s best-loved estates.

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.
