Nose

Its aroma is characterized by nicely integrated barrel spices and a vibrant, fruit-emphasized aroma. Cherry, fig, hip, well-ripened fruit aromas.

Palate

When tasting, the sip is all-encompassing, full-bodied, long-lasting, with a warm but balanced vintage with ripe tannins. Promising and balanced, already well consumed, but years before its peak.

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.

Harvest

Early October.

Appearance

Its color is a bright, purple-tinged deep hue.

More from this Producer

Gere Attila WineryPortugieser Organic

This is a single vineyard, organic wine that goes beyond the classic style. The grapes grown in the Ördögárok make for a fuller, richer, more sub-Mediterranean style wine. Made from manually harvested, organically farmed grapes, the wine matured in 1000 l barrels, so that its ripe, deep flavours and its inviting character with the typically softer acidity remain intact.

Gere Attila WineryOlaszrizling

It is one of the most widely planted and popular white varieties both in the wine region and in Hungary. The Villány climate is reflected in the ripe apple and pear notes, followed by the typical subtle almond aromas on the finish. The production and bottling process is designed to preserve the primary character of the fruit, so this is a reductive wine in a screw-capped bottle, released shortly after the harvest.

Gere Attila WineryKékfrankos

Kékfrankos is an indigenous variety of the Carpathian Basin. The grapes for this single vineyard wine come from the west-facing Várerdő vineyard. The variety is known for producing wines with pronounced acidity and crisp fruit. However, thanks to strict yield control, the ripeness of the harvested grapes and ageing in 300 and 500 litre barrels, our Kékfrankos is a sophisticated, medium to full-bodied, elegant wine.

Gere Attila WineryRosé Cuvée

An intense, juicy wine with fresh fruit notes, usually based on Kékfrankos. Pinot Noir, Merlot and Cabernet are added to support the style of the wine. Aged in tanks, it has a nice acidity, round mouthfeel with fruity and subtly spicy notes, making it a great accompaniment to seafood and light poultry dishes, but it’s also great on its own.

Gere Attila WineryCabernet Sauvignon

An elegant, classic wine aged in large oak barrels. The high prestige of Cabernet Sauvignon, the rich aromas typical of the region and the fruit-forward style of the DHC Villány Classicus category make it an excellent choice for serving by the glass. The palate is ripe, clean, with dark fruit and the spice notes of barrel ageing.

Gere Attila WineryAttila Cuvée

Our premium wines deserve special treatment. The vineyards with the most outstanding potential are cultivated with the utmost care throughout the year. The top wines are aged in small wooden barrels and each spring the best batches from the previous vintage are selected for the winery’s limited edition, ultra-rare Attila Cuvée. These are the finest base wines from outstanding vintages, so there is no set recipe for the blending; the proportions of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot are determined by which batches produce the most impressive results in any given year.
