The post Feind Cabernet Franc Rosé 2023 appeared first on Hungarianwines.

Type of the wine: Red, dry

Grape variety:  100% Cabernet Franc

Acidity / alcohol content:  1,1 g/l 13 %

Terroir, vineyard:  Sabar hill

Training system:  Medium high cordon, yield: 1.5–2 kg/vine

Harvest: Hand harvested

Technology: Ageing in 225 L used oak (Hungarian, French and Austrian) for 9 months

Quality level:  Premium Wine

Temperature:  16–18°C

Food pairing:  Since the notes of oak ageing are not dominant, they just add a touch of spiciness to the fruity character, it can pair well with dishes containing fruits. It is worth trying a pork or beef plate served with plum chutney, but foie gras with fig or rose duck breast with forest fruits will also work. Apart from fruity plates, this Cabernet offers the experience of harmony with Italian style pastas of cheese and tomato.

Available quantity:  2200 (3281 were made)

Retail price:  2.990 HUF / 8–9 EUROS

Importers:  Belgium (Qwine), Slovakia (Beer&wine Depot PWR s.r.o.), UK (Novel Wines)
