The Cabernet Franc comes from Pécsely, a vineyard on the shores of Lake Balaton with limestone and sandstone soils — a completely different terroir from the basalt of their other wines. Organic grapes, bought from a trusted local grower. Semi-carbonic maceration gives it juice and lift, eleven months in big oak gives it backbone. This is Central European Cab Franc at its most honest.

Healthy grapes from Pécsely, hand-destemmed into open fermentors. Partial intracellular fermentation for 10 days. Gently pressed, settled and aged 11 months in 400–500L oak barrels. Bottled with no additions. No sulphur added.

Serve around 16°C. Take it out of the fridge 20 minutes before opening, or simply don't refrigerate it.

If you have a decanter or any wide vessel, pour it in and wait 20 minutes. This wine is structured and opens beautifully with air.
