Notes & Pairings
This is the 1st vintage of this wine. According to Annamária, the liner notes of a CD or record are “where you find all of the fun stuff.” This is basically a sneak peak into what she’s enjoying the most right now. The fruit is not however from her region, but from 15 year old vines in the volcanic Mátra (Nagyréde) appellation. 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Kékfrankos, both are super delicately crushed. The main aim here is to get enough juice for a healthy fermentation, a little tannic touch, but nothing too oxidative. After five days of closed top fermentation, the wine continues in fiberglass and plastic. Hand disgorged and bottled with just enough RS to produce a subtle 1.5 bar, it does carry some red wine structure, but with a burst of energy and lightness as well. She only made 1000 bottles and we are lucky enough to have 100 of them.
