As the owner of the estate was fond of Rhône Valley Syrah and saw the potential in the terroir, he planted the variety at the foot of Somló's ‘basalt organ’ formations, first in 2003. The quality of the 2009 wine proved that Somló also has a place for red wines. It was fermented for 30 days in 1,000-litre oak vats, then aged for 1.5 years in barrels and 3 years in bottles, turning it into a truly complex, well-balanced big wine. Blueberry, violet and mint on the nose, plum and red fruit on the palate, with well-integrated tannins and acidity.
