Beautiful aroma, with red and black berries, cherries and blackberries, with spices. Big body, elegant tannin structure, soft and silky, alcohol seems high, but sinks in nicely. Very good proportions, lots of fruit, mint, eucalyptus.
The fruit of the Mandolás vineyard is this excellent Cabernet Franc from the Vylyan winery. The vineyard got its name from the almond trees that grow there, which feel good where the grapes are. A closed cauldron-like area on which Cabernet Franc is grown with large, ripe fruit. 2016 was a good vintage and even the best barrels of this year were selected. Today, it has turned into a beautiful mature wine that already gives a great experience, but can still be stored for a long time.
"The grapes come from our Mandolás and Gombás vineyards. The Cabernet Franc variety found its natural home in Villány, so we call its wine Villányi Franc and believe that it is the embodiment of elegance and harmony.
A super premium category barrel selection, the best of the Villányi Francs we produced in a great vintage. It was made in such a way that drinking it now, after resting in the bottle for a year, or even 10 years from now, is an experience. Its bright acidic fruitiness is reminiscent of blackberries, ripe cherries and blueberries. The elegant, long sip says goodbye with a dash of dark chocolate bitterness, cinnamon and cedar spiciness. Decanting suits him well. We recommend it for the festive table!"
