Szekszárdi

Szekszárdi is an adjective and demonym derived from Szekszárd, a city in Tolna County, Hungary. It is used to denote origin or association with Szekszárd, and appears in labeling, signage, and descriptions related to the town and its products.

The Szekszárd wine region, also known as Szekszárdi borvidék, is one of Hungary’s historic wine areas. Wines bearing the Szekszárdi designation originate in the Szekszárd wine region and are typically red. The best-known styles include Szekszárdi Bikavér (Bull’s Blood of Szekszárd), a full-bodied blend often including grape varieties such as Kékfrankos, Kadarka, and other traditional red grapes; and Szekszárdi Kadarka, a lighter, fruit-forward red. The region is recognized for its aging potential and distinct climatic conditions that influence flavor profiles.

Beyond wine, Szekszárdi refers to people from Szekszárd and to goods and cultural products associated with the town. The city itself serves as the administrative center of Tolna County and hosts regional events such as harvest celebrations that form part of its cultural identity.
