„CABERNET FRANC HAS FOUND ITS NATURAL HOME IN VILLÁNY”

Michael Broadbent, Decanter Wine Magazine, 2000

Villányi Franc is the embodiment of elegance and harmony. Thanks to the terroir, the perfectly ripe grapes, the strict selection and ageing in small barrels, a special, rich and complex single-vineyard wine was born. The low yielding grapes were harvested in mid-October, the juice was fermented with our own selection of yeasts and the wine aged for 18 months in new 300 litre Hungarian oak barrels.

The result is a concentrated and full-bodied 100% Cabernet Franc that is the genuine reflection of the variety’s potential, the unique character of the vineyard and the silky style of Villány red wines.

Two single vineyard wines, released on the market in alternation. Two neighbouring plots, two similar styles, both showing the unmistakable signs of great wines. The Csillagvölgy selection is vibrant and youthful, while the Ördögárok selection is sophisticated and refined. Both are ripe, pure and concentrated, with great ageing potential, reflecting the character of two amazing vineyards, unadulterated Villány Francs!

”Villány Franc is one of the most impressive global examples of this fascinating variety that deserves to be better known for its excellent quality-to-price ratio and wide drinking window, ranging from vibrant young wines to intensely charming ones that can be aged and enjoyed for decades.”
