A Villany premium red wine of protected origin

DHC-Villány

Description

Blackish core with purple tinges. Dried cherries, black currants, cinnamon, eucalyptus, mineral notes and herbs on the nose. It shows great poise and complexity with soft tannins and intense flavours. The palate displays an abundance of dark berries and forest fruit complemented by exotic spices and toasty oak notes. Refined acidity gives lift to this hefty wine. A true rarity among Gere wines.

Vintage evaluation

The year was ideal with high average temperature, sufficient rain, and without extremities. Thanks to the organic pest control we apply for years the skin of the grape became so flexible and hard, that the grape itself is able to protect against pests so we had no problem with this either. Even we were surprised by that extreme fruit flavour we felt in the grape berries. Beside the optimally ripe bunches we harvested this also gives confidence in the wines of this vintage.
