Product Notes

Sauska Kékfrankos wine originates from the exceptional vineyards of Villány, Hungary. Known for its ruby hue, Sauska Kékfrankos showcases beautiful, loose-textured red fruit flavours complemented by a touch of elegant spice. This medium-bodied wine is highly balanced with moderate tannins and a vivid acidity, yielding a pleasantly long finish. Its unique taste profile, offering a mixture of plum, cherry, and pepper notes, is perfectly matched by an enticing aroma of dark berries and forest floor. Sauska Kékfrankos wine, matured in oak barrels, is a delightful addition to any occasion, embodying the character of Hungarian wine tradition with each sip.

Tasting Notes

Huge team favorite, in top form in this vintage. Velvety red color, delicate acids and very soft tannins. An outburst of red fruits, cranberries, raspberries, black cherries lead the nose and the palate completed by ripe fleshy black cherries. The balance of aromas and taste is simply delightful.
