(WHITE FRANC)
It is impossible to live without white wine, and it is not worth it without red. My cellar’s white wine is back, welcome it back, well chilled.
It’s probably not news that I like to experiment and I believe deeply in (Villányi) Franc, and that’s how White Franc was born!A rare face of the cabernet franc looks back at me in this white wine. I was looking for the inner essence below the surface. Following the freedom of experimenting, I was curious what the juicy grape-meat (without the skin) can provide. The answer gets revealed in this wine.
Exotic, full-bodied white wine, citrus, white peach, juicy pear and a touch of pineapple appear on the well-structured palate
Vinification, ageing:
Cabernet Franc is rarely made in white expression and requires an extra care. The cabernet franc grapes were hand-harvested at the beginning of ripening, on October 2, 2023, earlier than they would have been picked for red wine. It was also important that the grapes were cold, so we started harvesting it early morning and worked quickly. We made this wine exclusively from the self-draining must, without malolactic maceration, to preserve its vibrant acidity and bright flavours.•
