Egri Kékfrankos Superior 2018
“A deep-coloured wine with intense nose. The aromas are still slow to open but manifold. Blue fruits, cherries and cocoa powder blossom out on the nose. A hint of exciting amaretto character emerges in the mid-palate thanks to oak aging. Firm but ripe tannins. Th long, cherry finish combined with lively acids and a slightly chocolatey finish shows the wine has great potential.”- Adél Bernáth-Ulcz CsokiLaBor

Subsequently, the fermentation took place in steel tank, maceration with pump over. After malolactic fermentation, it was aged in 5 and 20 hl oak barrels for 2 years. Over 5,000 bottles were bottled in summer 2021.
