Description: The flagship red wine of the winery, hand-harvested in small crates at the end of October and aged for 18 months in oak barrels. It shows a deep, dark ruby colour, a complex, velvety structure, and a rich, juicy palate. Layers of nougat and caramel intertwine with ripe dark fruits and black cherries. A passionate, well-balanced wine with a long, elegant finish that irresistibly invites another sip. A serious, structured red wine with great ageing potential.

Story: Legenda (meaning ‘legend’) has marked our journey as an estate from the very beginning. It is a blend we have been producing almost every year since our first vintage, proving that not only the south of Hungary is capable of creating powerful, age-worthy red wines, but also a small northern region like Pannonhalma.
