This special wine features chemical-free grape growing, crop control, manual harvesting and grape sorting.
You can trace all the charm, elegance and the fruitiness of the grapes in this wine, that are characteristic to the Villány wine region and Siklós with special regard to Akasztófa dűlő.
Fermentation takes place in steel tanks, including malolactic fermentation and maturation in 225 l first and second fill oak barrels on fine lees (sur lie) over a period of 21 months.
The grape is repaying chemical-free, natural cultivation with wonderful tannins and mellow, fruity aromas in the wine.
Fine spiciness, mellow fruitiness, jammy blackberry, cranberry, plum and flowery notes are distinct in a silky rounded sip.
Deep, ruby red color, high alcohol content and substance values, round tannins and massive crystal-clear structure feature this wine with a long aftertaste. The special structure of this wonderful gastro wine offers the potential of multi-annual ageing.
The winemaker suggests that red wine lovers - such as merlot fans - should drink this wine at a temperature of 16-18 C from a tulip shaped red wine glass.
This exceptional wine would be the best match for roasted game dishes - prepared primarily from deer, boar and mouflon - in addition to pork, veal and beef courses, such as stews, steaks, roasts and organ meats but it would suit well with the flavor and texture of beet and tomatoes as well as ripened cheese.
Our Merlot offers a special treat for wine connoisseurs in limited quantities.
