Marchese Piero Antinori is constantly looking for authencity in his foreign estates, so does he in Tolna wine region, Hungary. Tűzkő Estate is located near the village of Bátaapáti, among the hills of Tolna, near the river Danube. It has a long history closely related to that of the Counts of Apponyi family of French origin. Tűzkő Domb Cuvée (’Flintstone Hill Cuvée’) is the flagship wine of the cellar made of hand harvested, low yield fruit of the vineyard Tűzkő Domb. A classic Bordeaux blend (70% Cabernet Franc, 30% Merlot) made only in the best vintages. This wine has collected several gold medals from national and international competitions. Ideal with venison and desserts with chocolate and sour cherry. „Deep colour, full bodied, matured wine rich in refined tannins. Thanks to the two varieties fruity and spicy notes meet, and the blend is made complex with some discrete barrel ageing and 10 months of bottle ageing. Refined, integrated tannins with the deep, warm character of Cabernet Franc and the velvety and chocolate character of Merlot.” The new, 2017 vintage is available!

The pre-booking of the newest Kopar starts on 14th March and according to the winery’s  plans lasts for 1 month. The 2016 vintage of this Bordaux style blend has fewer bottles so the pre-booking quantity is limited. Based on the experiences of the previous years the winelovers make a dart quickly on the wood boxes fill with Kopars. This year it is worth doing it even quicker, because now it is not sure that the offer lasts until the end of the pre-booking period. Kopar Cuvée was in many ways a pioneer on the Hungarian market: it was one of the first wines to come with an invented brand name and since then it has become so successful that for many winelovers this is the first name to occur when they think of Villány reds. The introduction of subscription modelled on the Bordeaux en primeur system was also a novelty in Hungary and it enabled winelovers to secure the desired quantity at a favourable price before the upcoming vintage actually hit the market. The first vintage was from 1997.
