Story: We planted Syrah in 2010 for the first time – at that time it was considered strange and rare, since the variety had not been widespread. The variety seems to enjoy Mátra, it has good characteristics both in the vineyard and the cellar. This medium bodied, intensely fruity wine with spicy-peppery notes makes everyone fall in love with red wines easily.

Story: Mátra is not primarily known for Cabernet Franc, yet this wine is surprisingly complex and balanced with great ageing potential. The 15.5% alcohol remains hidden behind the full body and the intense fruitiness. it is recommended to lay a few bottles in the cellar and try them in 5 and 10 years.
