Villányi Franc Ördögárok 2021

A Villany Super Premium red wine of protected origin

DHC-Villány

The core turning black in the glass, a slow-moving, substantial batch. The scent is the warm, elegant character of the Villány vineyard. A flattering harmony of ripe, overripe red and black fruits, delicately salty-smoky notes and coffee. When tasted, it is rich in soft tannins, but the aromas are not hidden. Typical of great wines, it closes with an intense, long finish in all its elements.

After the winter the arrival of real spring was delayed, started cool so the gemmation was late. After the prolonged development the summer was dry, with minimal rain so the ripening of grapes speeded up. Harvest started later than usual on 25th August with Medoc noir, then in September it followed with the picking of rosé varieties. From here there was no stop and thanks to the beneficial warmth an intense harvest followed. Beside of Portugieser Pinot Noir also got into the cellar and thanks to the durable, pleasant, dry Autumn weather we closed the works with the last varieties in the usual time. As summary though the development started late, beside of the low bunch quantities we harvested healthy and high quality grape. Tasting the new wines we can book an excellent vintage giving rich and lively wines.
