Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

A Villány classicus red wine of protected origin

DHC-Villány

Description

Its colour is medium ruby. In the nose clear, fresh fruitiness and harmony of barrel spices. Extremely rich taste when tasting – beside its lively acids a hint of tannin also appears. Fresh raspberry and strawberry, well integrated barrel notes. The effect of all these stays longer than usual in the aftertaste. Its liveliness, roundness and intense fruits tempt for another sip.

Vintage evaluation

After the winter the arrival of real spring was delayed, started cool so the gemmation was late. After the prolonged development the summer was dry, with minimal rain so the ripening of grapes speeded up. Harvest started later than usual on 25th August with Medoc noir, then in September it followed with the picking of rosé varieties. From here there was no stop and thanks to the beneficial warmth an intense harvest followed. Beside of Portugieser Pinot Noir also got into the cellar and thanks to the durable, pleasant, dry Autumn weather we closed the works with the last varieties in the usual time. As summary though the development started late, beside of the low bunch quantities we harvested healthy and high quality grape. Tasting the new wines we can book an excellent vintage giving rich and lively wines.
