This unfiltered Kékfrankos is the fruit of a 30-year-old vineyard in Tihany Peninsula on the shore of Lake Balaton. A real volcanic wine as here the soils are mainly composed of basaltic tuff. The wine was fermented spontaneously in open vats and aged in large barrels for 24 months. The result is a handcrafted and charming medium body red wine with an elegant acidity and a long finish.
