Kékfrankos and Kadarka signatures as native red kings: spiced and structured with black cherry, blackberry, plum, paprika, pepper and smoky hint, firm tannins. Ripe Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon in Bordeaux blends at Villány. Specialities Szekszárdi Bikavér and unique Cirfandli white at Pécs (spiced, honeyed).
The word of the wine: Acidity
When present without excess, acidity contributes to the balance of the wine, giving it freshness and nervousness. But when it is very high, it becomes a defect, giving it a biting and green character. On the other hand, if it is insufficient, the wine is soft.
