 Grape varieties: 100% Olaszrizling

Alcohol: 12.5%

Acidity: 5.9 g/L

Residual sugar: 1.1 g/L

Extract: 18.9 g/L

Terroir, vineyard: The Olaszrizing grape for this wine was harvested on Sabar hill, where the estate is situated. "A small hill with great wines" – as the slogan of Sabar Wine House refers to its terroir.

Harvest: In 2024 the harvest started extremely early, on 23 August, about three weeks earlier than usual. Plus, almost all the grapes ripened at the same time, thus this harvest was more than challenging. Strangely enough, the fermentation was slower.

Technology: The wine fermented and matured in stainless steel tank, bottling took place in the second half of January.

Serving temperature: 10–11 °C

Bottled quantity: 4158 bottles

Ex-cellar retail price: 3200 HUF / 7–8 euros

Grape varieties: This Burgundy-style wine is a blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Top wine from grapes with a very restrained yield. 

Alcohol: 15 % 

Acidity: 5.1 g/l 

Residual sugar: 1.6 g/l 

Extract: 29.4 g/l 

Technology: Thanks to the weather, we were able to harvest our grapes with favourable phenological maturity, therefore due to the new oak fermentation and long skin contact, the resulting tannin structure is really beautiful. As a result, the wine has an unusual ageing potential.

Serving temperature: 18–20°C 

Food pairing: This wine can be an excellent choice alongside plates made of venison and matured beef. 

Cellar webshop retail price: 9999 HUF

Story: This prestige wine was made only in the best vintages for more than two decades. Our extremely dark red wine will appeal to any gourmet consumer who is open to the world of great French-style red wines. The intense nose is followed by a fruity and spicy palate, with some sweetish tones.
