Takler’s classic Kékfrankos is always a steadfastly reliable point of reference. It provides a solid benchmark through which the winemaker’s work can be measured. The grapes come from the Almástető, Szenta-hegy and Alsónána vineyards, harvested in mid-October. Fermented and also aged in tank for 11 months. A pure, varietally expressive wine with sour cherry flavours and subtle elegance. There’s no trace of rusticity – it’s a charming, graceful red wine with a refreshingly fruity character. A Best buy.
