Category-winner wine: Villányi franc 2017
Cabernet franc is the most significant variety in the Villány wine region, the standalone wine produced from it is marketed as Villányi Franc, distributed as a premium wine. Owing to the excellent location of the vineyards and the careful selection of grapes, the grapes were of the highest quality. The wine developed into a premium quality drink after small wooden barrel and bottle ageing. Dark chocolate and red berry notes characteristic of cabernet franc dominate this wine, well complemented by barrel ageing. It is a complex, elegant wine.
