Description

"In Porkoláb-völgyi, we love the lovely, feminine charm that characterises all wines from that region, regardless of variety. Its soft, fine tannins and slight mineral saltiness turn it into an unadulterated Burgundian character."
Csilla Sebestyén

This Kékfrankos is an excellent example of what the vineyard is known for, and it undoubtedly displays the softer, more refined side of the varietal. The combination of the grapes being sourced from limestone and loess-rich soil along with 22 months of aging in 500-liter, fourth-use barrels resulted in a gorgeous final product: soft tannins, earthy undertones, and juicy red berry characteristics on the nose and palate. The acidity in this wine provides plenty of structure and alongside fresh, tart notes of sour cherry, cranberry, and red currant.

Pair this one with flavorful dishes like pasta in creamy mushroom sauce or roast chicken seasoned with green herbs.

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.
