Description

A fresh, fragrant summer wine with an intense floral and spicy aroma. The taste is very juicy, a real adrenaline rush for the taste buds. Lots of elderberry, citrus and good acidity.

Made with the native Cserszegi Fuszeres grape. Vines of average 45 years old. Handpicked grapes were fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel stanks and the wine was aged for 6 months on lees before bottling.

The Sebestyén winery was established in 1998 in the Szekszárd region by brother and sister team Csaba and Csilla Sebestyén. The Szekszárd region, which covers 2,300 hectares, is one of the historic and climatically ideal regions for wine in Hungary and forms part of the larger Pannonia region, located in the south of the country.

The duo currently work 18 hecatres. Their main grape variety is Kékfrankos, a local grape which provides the backbone of Bikavér, as well as Kadarka, one of the most ancient varieties in the Szekszárd region with wines produced from old bush vines of 60+ years old. All grapes are hand harvested and undergo strict manual selection to ensure the best quality.

Sebestyen Szekszard

The Sebestyén winery was established in 1998 in Szekszárd, one of Hungary’s best winemaking regions with viticultural history dating back to Roman times. Run by brother and sister team Csilla and Csaba, the duo farm 13 hectares of predominantly old vines. They focus on indigenous varieties such as Kadarka and Kékrankos alongside varietals such as Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Using the template of Burgundy, the duo aims to reinterpret the traditional, regional Bikavér wine (Bull’s Blood) for the 21st century.

Szekszard

Szekszárd is a wine region in southern Hungary. Szekszárd’s climate is shaped by a variety of factors. Atlantic and Mediterranean both have decisive impacts, while continental factors and the Danube’s tempering effect also play roles. Summers are generally long and hot and are often followed by a warm Indian summer, meaning that even late-ripening red varieties can reach full ripeness in Szekszárd’s benevolent climate.
