KÉKFRANKOS ROZÉ

2022

The delectable Kékfrankos from the King of Rose's family estate in Szekszárd, in southern Hungary. The climate in Szekszárd is sub-mediterranean, and the soil is loess with a limestone substratum.

A cocktail of citrus fruits dominates on the nose - grapefruit, lime, gooseberries - with tropical fruits like mango and guava on the mouth, complemented by zesty acids for a linear mineral finish. Spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, and aging in stainless steel. Organic farming. 100% Kékfrankos (Blaufränkisch).

From Wine Enthusiast: “Deep salmon in color, this rosé has a nose of raspberry, fennel pollen and roasted yellow pepper. Vivid acidity provides a backdrop for raspberry, pomegranate, orange zest and dried thyme flavors with a pleasant dusting of mild paprika.” (91 Points, December 2023)
