Sopron Protected Designation of Origin (OEM) dry red wine.
Medium-intense ruby colour. The aroma is led by blackberries, spicy plums and cognac, with darker notes of prunes, black pepper and liquorice, with a refreshing blueberry jam. The taste is dominated by a trio of blackberry, plum jam and cognac clove, complemented by black pepper and cloves, with dark chocolate and caramel on the finish.
Using the method of mass selection, the most attractive vines from three Bordeaux vineyards were selected and we planted them in Balf. After hand harvesting and berrying, fermentation is done for 21 days on skins, with manual racking and rounding. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is decanted and aged here for 14 months, 70% in two to three-year-old oak barrels and 30% in new 300-litre Hungarian, French and Austrian oak barrels.
Recommended food pairings: game meats, veal liver, blue and semi-hard cheeses, forest fruit desserts.
