MAGMA KÉKFRANKOS

2019

Unfiltered and unfined Kékfrankos from the volcanic soils of the Tihány peninsula on the northern shore of Lake Balaton. Tamás Kovács' family has been making wine in the village of Csopak for more than five generations. The Kékfrankos is spontaneously fermented with native yeasts, and aged for 6 months in used 500 L Hungarian oak barrels. Juicy and spicy, with boysenberry and green herbs. Organic farming.

From Wine Enthusiast: “Deep violet to the eye, this wine has a bouquet of Chambord, bittersweet chocolate and sage leaf. Slightly spicy at first sip, it offers clove and mint tea notes alongside pomegranate, cranberry, eucalyptus, milk chocolate and dried marjoram flavors. Ultrasoft tannins make for a smooth sip.” (92 Points, December 2023)
