Páger – Syrah

Páger Syrah: A Handcrafted Volcanic Natural Red Wine from Mátra

Discover the wild, volcanic face of Mátra with Páger Syrah, a handcrafted wine from Páger Pince! Mátyás Páger harvested this special batch from the mineral-rich, volcanic soil of the Gereg vineyard in Gyöngyöspata. Eco-conscious, completely chemical-free viticulture combined with minimal cellar intervention produced an incredibly clean, meaty, and characterful natural red wine — a true, authentic Mátra rarity for lovers of natural flavors.

What Makes Páger Syrah Special?

Eco-farming: 100% chemical-free viticulture from the premium Gereg vineyard. Natural winemaking: free of winemaking additives, bottled unfiltered and unfined. Low sulfur levels: made with a minimal addition of sulfur, preserving the fruit's primary, explosive aromas. Volcanic character: the loess-volcanic soil gives the wine a distinctive, salty-mineral tension.

Tasting Notes

A deep ruby-red wine. Its aroma and flavor are dominated by the black pepper characteristic of Syrah, forest berries — blueberry, blackberry — along with subtle smokiness and meaty notes. The palate is full and energetic, with firm tannins and a vibrant acid structure owed to the volcanic terroir.

Serving Suggestions and Food Pairing

We recommend serving it at 15–17°C. It pairs excellently with game dishes, steaks, rosemary-roasted lamb, or smoked cheeses. Due to its unfiltered nature, fine sediment may appear in the bottle.

If you enjoy Páger Pince's natural winemaking philosophy, it's worth trying Páger Kékfrankos as well — the same Gereg vineyard terroir and cellar philosophy, expressed through a different grape variety. You can read more about the Syrah grape variety here.
