- Brief description of viticulture, fermentation, vinification and maturation: This Bikavér is the blend of 4 base wines. Grapes were harvested at full ripeness. After destemming and light crushing, fermentation took place in 150hl stainless steel tanks for 24-30 days. After fermentation, the mash was left to settle for 2 weeks. The base wines were put into barrels of various sizes and aged for 18 months. After blending, the wine was further aged in the bottle.
