Another banger in our ever growing Hungarian section. This one is a deep ruby colour in the glass and offers a nose of red and black fruits complexed by chocolate and mineral notes, leading to a palate of blackberry, leather and spice flavours. It was matured in large Hungarian oak casks for more than two years. There are some lovely gorgeous Bordeaux notes in this wine - Petit Verdot being one of the seasoning grapes often found at low percentages in a lot of Bordeaux. It isn't showy though, more of a thought provoking wine.

 An ideal match with dishes made of venison.

?Bulls Blood? from Eger in Northern Hungary. Kekfrankos blended with Kadarka, Cabernets, Merlot & Pinot Noir. Savoury herbs accenting earthy dark fruit, spices emerging on the mid palate with a mouth filling savoury finish. Gal Tibor is credited as the winemaker who created Ornellaia at Antinori in Tuscany before returning to his native Hungary.

Kekfrankos is also known as Blaufrankisch and is a late ripening grape typically with big tannins and pronounced spicy flavours. Here we find full ripeness to balance the elegant tannins and spicy notes - and lovely blue fruits moulded by elegant oak. Fabulous value for money.

This wine takes it name from an old way Hungarian reference to the vineyard from where it comes. Mandol?s is one of the Oremus vineyards and it is only planted with Furmint, the most respected grape variety of the region. During the weeks leading up to the harvest, the state of ripening of the grape is systematically checked and the golden yellow, health and ripe bunches are picked. A must with great density is obtained using a delicate and gentle pressing. Fermentation is in new wood barrels, which are carefully prepared, and takes between eight and 12 days. The wine is aged in 136-litre small barrels, which are typical of the region.

A charming fruity and florally scented wine whose fine minerality and elegant acids make this Tokaj Muscat the perfect refreshing wine for summer evenings and long friendly conversations.

2.5 bar in the name of this wine refers to the pressure, which is half of the pressure in bottle fermented sparkling wines, giving this cheeky little quaffer a superb yet subtle spritz. Sun ripened strawberries on the nose lead to a feather light palate with similar red berry flavours. Ethereal and bubbly!
