Pannon wine region[2] is one of the seven larger wine regions of
Hungary. It consists of four wine regions:
Pécs,
Szekszárd,
Tolna and
Villány.[1] Its soil is mostly
loess.[3] Wine production started in the
Roman ages. Both red and white wines are produced, but the former are more significant.[1] International varieties, especially
Cabernet Sauvignon,
Cabernet Franc and
Merlot have gained ground in the region.[4] The best known product of Szekszárd is
Szekszárdi Bikavér, while Villány is known for its full-bodied
Bordeaux style red wines.[1]
