Bottle-aged rosé champagne with a fresh taste and high potency.
This champagne sweeps us off our feet with its pale peach blossom color. In its fresh, pink flowery, red berry fruit aroma, we immediately recognize notes of currants and pomegranates, and then there is a little rose pepperiness, just for fun. Its beading is persistent, the bubbles are small and silky.
The taste is pleasant, fruity and spicy. We get everything in the taste that was promised in the aroma, the sip is lively and refreshing, and although the aftertaste is a little sweeter than we would expect, the spiciness also favorably counterbalances this.
A very lovable, unique, memorable champagne, it really shows its beauty with food. Maybe, but you don't have to prepare a complete course for it, it's enough if you have some fresh cheese or some good Spanish ham on hand; the harmony will still be perfect.

About the winery:
Kern Winery was founded in 2012 with the aim of creating a link between the past and future of wine production, combining tradition with nature and technology. Their plan is to "revive" the traditional, almost forgotten grape varieties using the most modern and gentle procedures.
They bought their first areas in Balatonszőlős (Öreghegy, Penke-dűlő), followed by the other plantations in Tokaj-Hegyaljá (Tarcal-Mandulás-dülő, Szegi, Bakonyi), with the estate center in Tarcal. They currently farm on 10 hectares (5 h Balaton, 5 h Tokaj-Hegyalja).
In both wine regions, we make our champagnes using the traditional method (Méthode Traditionnelle). Our main varieties in Balatonszőlős are Olaszrizling, Pinot Gris, Zenit and Zweigelt. In Tokaj, Furmint, Muscat Lunel, Hárslevelű and traditional Tokaj grape varieties such as Zéta, Kabar and Kövérszőlő.
We have a wide range of white wine and sparkling wine available, which are a great introduction to Hungary's two largest white wine producing areas. Our champagnes are mineral, very widely understood, elegant, balanced, with pleasant acidity.
