Light and smooth tannins with incredibly deep notes of pine forest and dark berries. Intense and gentle at the same time. One for the gamey meals!

Vinification

After the bunches were de-stemmed and pressed, the juice was fermenting spontaneously in open wooden vats for over 2 weeks. Then, the wine was transferred to 500l Zemplén oak barrels, where it aged on the lees for 6-8 months. Has been bottled unfined, unfiltered without the addition of SO2. Unfortunately due to heavy rainfall half of the harvest had to be discarded, which resulted in wines with more concentration.
