Product Notes

Sauska Cabernet Franc wine, produced in the renowned vineyards of Hungary, boasts an exceptional character. This classic, full-bodied red wine is a rich blend of ripe blackberries, fragrant herbs and delicate hints of spice. On the palate, it rewards with complex layers of blackcurrant, liquorice and smoky oak flavours, harmoniously balanced with supple tannins and a long, satisfying finish. The epitome of sophistication, this wine pairs beautifully with hearty meat dishes or matured cheeses. A bottle of Sauska Cabernet Franc combines Hungarian tradition with modern winemaking, resulting in a deeply-flavoured, exquisitely finished tipple.

Tasting Notes

Deep, burgundy red. Playful and spicy plum aromas in the nose. Black cherry, tobacco and black tea dominate the palate. A silky and balanced wine, a true Villány Franc of sub-mediterranean charm.

About the Winery

Nestled in the heart of Tokaj-Hegyalja, Hungary's oldest and most prestigious wine region, the Sauska Winery offers a blend of traditional viticulture and cutting-edge technology. Commanding an expansive swathe of land, the vineyard is meticulously cultivated, bearing an impressive collection of local grape varieties that includes Furmint, Hárslevelű, and Muscat.

Sauska Winery is best known for their Tokaji wines, which are both a testament to the region's rich history and a beacon of its future. These exceptional vintages are made from botrytised grapes; this natural process infuses the produce with intoxicating flavours and depth.

The estates are adorned with architecturally splendid cellars. These underground labyrinths are used to age their wines, and some have capacity for over a thousand barrels. This conscious mix of tradition and innovation is evident across the winery from the vineyard management to the winemaking process itself; all approaches are carefully selected to produce nothing but the best.

Furthermore, Sauska Winery recognises the importance of sustainability and possesses a firm commitment towards minimising its environmental impact. This is reflected in its pest control methods and the implementation of solar panels across its winery and guest houses. Green initiatives are not simply an afterthought; they are indeed a core aspect of the winery's philosophy.

Apart from its acclaimed wine collection, Sauska Winery offers incredible experiences for visitors.
