Hajos-Baja Murdei Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot

There’s a rustic honesty to this wine — the kind poured at long wooden tables in cool Hungarian cellars, where stories flow as freely as the glass. The Murdei blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot leans into its fruit-forward side with pride, wearing its juiciness like a badge of honour.

Ripe cherry and wild raspberry flavours burst onto the palate, framed by a soft structure and just a kiss of sweetness that smooths every sip. It’s the kind of red that asks to be chilled ever so slightly and served with charcuterie, spicy sausages or a hearty bowl of paprika stew. Not a wine that takes itself too seriously — and all the better for it.
