Saint Benedict also regulated the amount of alcohol consumption for monks during his rule, determining it with the measure of hemina. "A hemina is the amount that lifts me, cheers me up, unleashes strength and creativity, and makes me wise and happy," says Cirill Hortobágyi, arch-abbot of Pannonhalma. Hemina Red is a true ‘Pannonhalma Bordeaux’, with 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc from the Babszökő vineyard, whereby the grapes were harvested separately by variety, selected using an optical sorter and fermented under controlled conditions. It was aged for 8 months in small (225 l), used oak barrels. A medium-bodied red wine with a fine tannin structure and plenty of black berry fruits. The dominant flavours are blackberry and ripe blueberry, complemented by the skilful, elegant use of barrels, with subtle cocoa notes. A velvety, harmonious blend, with the fruit in the foreground. An excellent choice for adhering to the prescribed hemina.
