About this product
Hungary's most internationally acclaimed wine — a Bordeaux blend dominated by Cabernet Franc and Merlot from Villány's limestone terraces, aged in French barriques. The wine shows why Villány's limestone soils are exceptional for Cabernet Franc: violet, red cherry, cedar, graphite, and the distinctive pencil shaving mineral note of great limestone Cab Franc. Structured, elegant, and genuine — Hungary's first wine to compete convincingly with French Bordeaux on the international market.
