MUNDIA

2021

Ralf Wassmann and Susann Hanauer spontaneously bought a small old-fashioned winemaking property with grapes and peach trees in the southernmost region of Villány in 1998. Within two weeks of their first visit to Hungary, they packed up and moved from Germany (where Ralf was a winemaker) to Pécsdevecser, a once-Swabian settlement with German roots. They came to natural winemaking quite instinctively, wishing to make delicious, well-balanced wines with minimal intervention that respected the land on which they lived and worked. They were the first winery in Hungary to certify organic (2003) and the second to certify biodynamic (2011).

The Mundia is a zero-sulfur Kékfrankos-Cabernet Franc blend that was first created as the wedding gift to Ralf’s sister. Flavors of black cherries and wild peppermint on the nose, with a creamy mouthfeel, rich sour cherry and cacao on the palate. Elegant, fresh and juicy. The wine was fermented spontaneously with native yeasts, and aged for 18 months in 220 liter used Hungarian and French oak barrels. Unfiltered and unfined, zero sulfur added. 50% Kékfrankos, 50% Cabernet Franc.
