Notes & Pairings
Kert translates to “garden,” so this is basically a “Gemischter Satz” with a little extra for good measure. 60% is 10 day whole cluster semi-carbonic Kékfrankos blended with 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot which are both open vat fermented for 12 days. The final 5% is direct pressed Kadarka and Hárslevelű. This has more grip than the previous vintage, but the aromatic lift from the Kadarka and Hárslevelű make it more of a crunchy grip than a drying one. The final blend was aged in fibertank and oak barrels for 8 months. Bottled unfiltered, unclarified and without added SO2. 2780 bottles produced.
