Vylyan Kékfrankos 2021 (0,75 L)

One of our most popular wines in this Blaufrankisch or Kékfrankos. It shows the unique character of the variety in an honest and pure manner, creating a powerful and lively wine with the typically vivid acidity. This is why we love it. The freshly poured wine brings about a bouquet of lustful and spicy scents. In the mouth this is complemented by the fruitiness of black cherry and rosehip, as well as the bitter aromas of dark chocolate.  Its elegance shows through lively acids.

From the outset we believe wine and art belong together. We asked seven contemporary Hungarian writers and poets to draw inspiration from the premium wines of Vylyan Winery. From the essence of poems and short stories the creating hand conjured up artistic drawings, and we now present the result to the world on the Vylyan bottles. The drawings reflect the soul of the wines on paper, as the artists see them.

It pairs well with spicy, yet not overwhelmingly heavy dishes, and also works perfectly in itself, musing on the uniqueness of the Blaufrankisch.

Vintage: 2018

2018 is going to be one of the most extraordinary vintages for the Villány wine region, also memorable for one of the earliest harvests so far, which started on 10 August. Overall, it is considered a warm vintage, with dry periods and intensive precipitation following each other in an appropriate pace. We have had 40 days of intensive rain, followed by a warm and dry period, early budding, early blooming and explosive development. The long harvest season from August to October saw plenty of sunshine, resulting in perfectly ripe grapes which are also rich in elegant acidity.
