Notes & Pairings

The vineyard name translates to “The good soldier’s land.” Gábor learned that the best plantings were located here pre Phylloxera. During a winter visit we ate frosted rose hips and felt the sun hitting us before the rest of the village below with Mount Kékestető in the background. Hand harvested, 1 week of maceration in tank, and then 1.5 years aging in tank. Unfined, unfiltered, and no additions of any kind. This is dark, layered, high acid and perhaps the most structured and tannic Kékfrankos in the portfolio.
