Aureus: Wisdom in the glass

Gere Tamás & Zsolt Winery is one of the few estates with enough patience. If you think that their website featuring a 2012 vintage wine is not updated, you are wrong. The current vintage of Aureus, the flagship Bordeaux-blend of the cellar is indeed from 2012.
Time is money, what is more, it is worth gold, as Aureus (standing for a golden coin in the ancient Roman empire) proves it. “The glass is greeted by clean, flattering 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 is already flattering, but it still has a great future ahead of it, as it has elegance and potential.”
If you cannot make it to the event, you can still order it from the winery webshop. For 7490 HUF (approximately 19 EUR) it is a steal

The menu

Gere Tamás & Zsolt’s Diófa pension offers a soup (meatsoup or fruitsoup) with one of the 4 main courses:
– Spaghetti a la Bolognese
– Spicy chicken stripes with potato
– Swabish roast and smashed potato with onion
– Breaded pork fillet with French fries and cabbage salad

The cultural festival ends in two days, but Villány remains one of the most vivid wine regions full of events – and if nothing happens, the wineries offer enough entertainment.

Aureus – intense and vibrant!

If you stay there, it is a must to taste Aureus Cuvée, the flagship wine of the estate. Tamlyn Currin wine writer of JancisRobinson.com has recently evaluated nearly 100 Hungarian wines. Gere Tamás & Zsolt Aureus Cuvée 2012 ended up being the best red blend with 17 points and she predicts an ageing potential until 2026. “Rich caramelised-fruit nose. Plums and damsons, moving into the dried-fruit and Christmas-spice spectrum with bright flecks of candied orange peel and dried apricots. Caraway seeds. Pretty vigorous tannins – I wonder what they were like eight years ago! It might even benefit from being decanted. But it has aged with grace and is certainly far from senescent. There is also a long, cool freshness running the spine. Intense, vibrant, velvet and black stones.”
