Etyeki Kúria Sopron Kékfrankos, 2018

Today Kékfrankos is the most widely planted red grape variety in Hungary covering around 8000 ha.

Being a Pontus variety, it can be made into a wine with a very wide range of uses (rosé, light red and aged red in different styles). In this case it shows its full potential, all that fully ripe grapes can achieve complemented by a well-balanced ageing.
