2024 Peter Nagyvaradi 'Monoslou' Blaufrankisch, Balatonmelleki, Hungary

$31.00

Organic. 100% Kékfrankos (Blaufranksich) from 15 year old cordon trained vines grown on limestone in a single .8ha vineyard in Monoszló. The fruit is hand harvested and fermented whole cluster with carbonic maceration in 300L and 500L Austrian and Hungarian barrels. The wine rests on the lees in barrel for 11 months, and is bottled sans soufre, with no fining or filtration. Delicious, fruit forward and expressive iteration of Kékrankos. Super unique in that it does not remind one of any of the classic references for this variety. The bouquet and palate are balanced and generous, a very pleasurable cuvée. A great reminder that Kékrankos doesn’t have to be brooding or dense.
