Nose

Its balanced alcohol content brings to the fore its blackberry aroma.

Palate

The wine is characterized by a fine tannin structure due to the predominance of Merlot, while the notes of Cabernet Franc give the wine its frame and structure. Due to the short maturation in Hungarian oak barrels used several times, the fruit world of the wine is the determining factor against the “barrique notes”. Its balanced alcohol content brings to the fore its blackberry taste notes, which are nicely supported by the body of the wine. A fine-structured, fruity, elegant, but substantial “Pannohnalm Bordeaux”.

Winemaking

The grapes, harvested separately by variety, were selected using an optical sorting device, cold macerated in a 60 hl coolable steel tank, and then fermented in a controlled manner. The fermented wine was aged briefly for 8 months in used second- and third-fill Hungarian oak barrels, while complete malic acid decomposition also took place.

It is perfect with grilled dishes and brown meats, as well as dishes served with forest fruit sauce or Hungarian-style dishes.

The harvested grapes are first destemmed and selected by an optical sorting machine and then they are crushed and pressed except Gewürztraminer and Sauvignon Blanc that have a one-day-long cold maceration before being pressed. Following settling and clearing the juices are fermented by specific yeast cultures under controlled temperature conditions. The rapid, oxygen-free processing technology makes it possible to transfer the primary characteristics of the grape juices into the wine. Due to its strict technological processing, this wine delivers the fresh and crispy flavours of early summer fruits with its floral and pleasant aromas during its first months after bottling while exhibits the deeper character of the Riesling varieties for the following months and years.
