Dry red wine with protected geographical indication (OFJ) of Transdanubia.
Medium ruby colour. The aroma is dominated by red berry fruits (cranberries, strawberries, cherries) and hibiscus, with darker, spicier notes of liquorice, cloves and blackcurrant liqueur. The flavour has bright, concentrated red berry fruit notes, cherries, dried cranberries, a slight tea-like character, a touch of clove and hibiscus flowers.
Fermentation is on skins for 14 days with regular racking after gentle berrying. This is followed by spontaneous malolactic fermentation, then 80 % is matured in steel tanks and 20 % in three to four year old 300 litre Hungarian oak barrels for 8 months. The most important objective in the blending process is to experience concentrated fruitiness.
Recommended food pairings: stuffed poultry, stews, spicy Italian dishes, chocolate fondue.
