BUKOLYI MARCELL Kékfrankos Réserve Nagy -Eged Grand superior 2021

After 10 years making wine for the family winery, Marcell Bukolyi struck out on his own and formed his own winery in 2016. The winery is 14 hectares, and it is the only fully certified organic winery in Eger. It is located on the foot of the Nagy-Eged hill, with rich chalk soils and a volcanic subsoil.

Marcell Bukolyi's Kékfrankos Nagy-Eged Grand Superior is the top selection from the Nagy-Eged hill. 2021 was an unusually hot and sunny year, yielding wines with high sugar content and lively acidity. Fermentation occurred in open vats without temperature control. The wine was then aged for 12 months in 500 L Hungarian oak.

The wine is fragrant and complex, with wild raspberries, clove, ginger and forest fruit compote. Unfiltered and unfined, low sulfur added. Certified organic.

« Our most important variety that combines power and grace. Flavours of ripe blackberry and currant with savoury spices, a creamy body, lively acidity and a minerally backbone. A complex cool climate terroir wine. »
