Information:

Today’s gold standards, rules now written in stone, all started out at one point as an experiment. Passionate, brave people’s most creative ideas were gradually transformed into common practices by several generations. This is why we are so keen to understand and accept this ever-changing world around us. To see and learn what we have to do in Tokaj and in Villány where we belong.

Tokaj

Complicated, rich, mysterious. Also traditional, beautifully-worn, gracefully-aging and distant, as a true legend should be. For two decades we have continually strived to figure out what it has to say, and we tremendously enjoy every minute of that ongoing conversation. Tokaj was never more ready to shine and we are proud to be part of its renaissance.  Let`s raise a glass of Furmint bubbles to it!

Villany

This is not just a wine country to us...it is our heritage. For Christian, it is Somberek, the tiny village nearby where his family lived for centuries. For Peter, it is Bóly, his birthplace. For our Cabernet Sauvignon, it is the cold plateau of Siklós where its lean acidity comes from. For our Cabernet Franc, it is the searing-hot Devil`s Ditch.  Villány is warm, homey and inviting. Once people arrive, no one ever wants to leave its magic.

Padihegy

A land with diverse exposure, our vineyards hugging the mountain from east to west. Rhyolit tuff, geyserite and limnoquarzite mark the terroir with heavy clay content. Due to the delicate quality and unique balance of soil, Padihegy has an instrumental role in our sparkling wine concept with new Chardonnay and Pinot Noir plantations on the horizon.


Winemaking:

Grape hand-harvested, carefully selected, soaked for a few hours on the skin, then gently pressed.

Controlled alcoholic fermentation in both tank and barrel, to emphasize primary characteristics of the variety.

Aged for 10 months in new 225-liter French barrels (15%) and used 225-liter French barrels (85%).



Description:

Nose: Light ruby color with aromas of cranberry, tart cherry, wildflower, and oriental spices, especially cloves. 

Taste: On the palate gentle, silky tannins with nice minerality. An elegant and lean red  with ripe cherry and black tea notes, delicate tartness, well-integrated wood.
