Nose
Complex aroma: black coffee, rose-hips, minerals, cut spices, red fruits and several levels.
Palate
Lively, fresh fruits when tasting. The tannins and acids show nice balance with the juicy character of the wine. Cleared out, elegant with the complexity of Attila wines and great future.
Growing Conditions
The winter of 2020 was dry and was prolonged but we finished the pruning in time. In the end of March there were serious cold and snow but the vines were not damaged. The dryness continued in April with a longer period. Spring was cold so the initial development of the sprouts was slower but later the vine developed according to the many year average – bringing in the leeway. Healthy bunches could wait the harvest. We could pick nice, healthy, well ripen, fruity berries. Thanks to the warm and dry weather the ripening of the late varieties became swift so the harvest was ended even with these varieties until 10th October.
