Vylyan Mandolás Cabernet Franc 2020 (0,75 L)

The grapes come from our Mandolas and Gombas vineyards. The Cabernet Franc variety has found its natural home in Villány, so we call its wine Villányi Franc and we profess that it is the epitome of elegance and harmony.

The grapes were harvested in the Mandolás and Gombás vineyards. The wine is a selection of barrels, the best of Villányi Franc, which we only make in great vintages. Its consumption is designed to be an experience coming to the market, but also after 10 years. Large wine with remarkable structure and long lengths. Its fruitiness is reminiscent of blackberries and ripe cherries. The elegant length finishes with dark chocolate, cinnamon and cedar spice. Decanting can be beneficial.

Recommended for big game dishes or refined roasts e.g. forest berry reduction. It is also worth trying with dark chocolate desserts!

Another year of superlatives: the coldest winter and the earliest beginning of the harvest so far!We had the true cold winter of our childhood memories, with long-lasting sub-zero temperatures, precipitation, but contrary to our European “colleagues” we did not suffer any frost damage. The late May bloom was followed by a steadily warm summer, luckily with adequate precipitation. This all brought about the early harvest which commenced on 17 August, with the grapes fro the Pinot Noir rosé first. The grapes proved to be ripe and intact, with unique richness of colour and excellent contents.
