BUKOLYI MARCELL Mentha 2022

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.

The Mentha is a Kékfrankos and Syrah Superior blend from 2022. Thisis a blend of Marcell’s two favorite varieties, resulting in a truly vivid, aromatic, juicy and herbaceous treat. Fermentation was spontaneous with native yeasts, on the skins in open vats with manual punch-down. The skin contact lasted about 2-3 weeks. Malolactic fermentation took place spontaneously after fermentation. The was aged in four-year-old 500 L Hungarian oak barrels for 12 months.

Flavors like eucalyptus, red berry jam and raspberry coulis on the nose and palate, with a lengthy finish. Kékfrankos (60%), Syrah (40%)
