2020 Sziegl Kékfrankos Hársfás-út

Notes & Pairings

Around 40 years old plantation kékfrankos This is our first vintage of Kékfrankos from the Hársfás-út vineyard. It's only a 15 minute drive from Hajós heading toward the village of Érsekhalma, but the soil here is hard packed loess and clay which is a big departure from the sandy soils of the Herreberg. The Kékfrankos vines are around 40 years old. Hand harvested in the middle of October. After treading in an open dish, it fermented spontaneous. 30 percent of the grapes were trampled and the remaining crushed berries were placed on top. After fermenting and pressing the wine was for 18 month in oak barrels and aged in bottle for 18 month. Bottled unfiltered and unfined, without added sulfur.
