Grape varieties:
Merlot, kékfrankos, cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon,
kadarka, pinot noir
Technology:
Aging base wines partly in 60 hl traditional barrels and oak
barrels for 12 months. After doing a test blend we blended
the whole quantity and left the blend further 2 months for
aging. After bottling, further 6 months aging in bottle.
Description:
Following the tradition of the region, the backbone of our
Bikavér wine is given by the spicy kékfrankos with its
determined acids. The richness of aromas and perfect
harmony is provided by fruity kadarka, merlot flavoured
with vanilla and cabernet franc with its violet character.
This wine becomes fairy with its playful acids, good tannins
and the notes of fine barrel aging. Spicy and fruity at once.
Vibrant, however easy to understand. Its liveliness gives
freshness to the wine suitable for further bottle aging.
