Fred is the ideal choice for those seeking a smooth, medium to full-bodied red. Bursting with flavours of blackcurrant, cranberry, black cherries, and bramble, it strikes a delightful balance between juicy and refreshing. Whether you're unwinding after a long day's work or curling up beside the fire, this wine is the perfect companion for a well-earned moment of relaxation.

Vinification
Half of the Portugieser has been foot-crushed, the rest de-stemmed. The juice was fermented spontaneously for 2 weeks in open vats. The Alibernet and the Dunaj have been aged in 300 - 500l Zemplén oak barrels, while The Portugieser stayed in a 2500L Austrian oak for 6 months. Bottled in April unfined and unfiltered without the addition of SO2.
