The competition
Members of Magyar Borszakírók Köre taste and rank Hungarian wines from the last five years. Each wine is given a score, and the first 12 wines with the highest scores make the Super 12 list.
The wines on the Super 12 list have an outstanding quality that “meets the requirements of the most sophisticated customers,” and these wines can also compete on an international level.
There is a separate Super 12 list for white and red wines. Altogether 11 Hungarian wine regions made it onto the list in 2018. The most frequently appearing ones are the Eger Wine Region (which is represented by six wines on the list), the Tokaj Wine Region (represented by four wines), and the Szekszárd Wine Region (represented by three wines).
