The grapes for this delicious wine by Sauska are selected from their various premium vineyards in and around Villány. A blended wine made with cabernet sauvignon, merlot, kékfrankos, cabernet franc, syrah. The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeast to maximize fruit character, then aged in stainless steel and selected used barrels for 8 months.
Warm ruby red in colour with aromas of plum, gooseberries and freshly baked sourdough bread which dominate the nose. On the palate there's a lovely outburst of red forest fruits and delicate freshness. A lean body with a clean and balanced finish. The perfect everyday red. Try with beef, lamb, pork dishes or with charcuterie.
