Rewarding patience

While most aged red wines on the shelves are from most recent vintages, the current vintage of Aureus Cuvée is 2012. This patience to release vintages is characteristic of Gere Tamás & Zsolt Winery, a stubborn and rewarding attitude to ageing. About the vintage they say: “The spring took an early and good start, which has been degraded after a while. The early summer was without rain, slightly cooler, but by the middle of the year the summer has become extremely warm, which lasted until the end of the harvest. We have finished with nice and sunny warm autumn.“ The wine is made of 40% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Franc and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon from three emblematic vineyards: Kopár, Várerdő and Csillag. The hand harvest took place at the end of October and at the beginning of November. The wines aged separately for 30 months, in 70% used oak and 30% new oak, 225 and 500 L barrels.
“The glass is greeted by clean, charming scents. The play of forest fruits and tobacco, the right proportion of barrel spices gives the impression of an already mature wine. Earthy notes and restrained fruit scents guide the wine. Over time, coffee also arrives due to roasting. The matured aroma, the serious body, makes it even more complex. It still has a great future ahead of it, as it has elegance and potential.”
It costs only 7490 HUF / approximately 20 EUR on the webshop of the winery!
