Lajver Kékfrankos, 2020

100% varietal Blaufränkisch wine. Manual harvest. We used cluster and berry sorting to eliminate any sub-optimal raw material. All batches were cold soaked and we used special gentle pumping over techniques. The skin contact time was 22-28 days depending on the batch. The alcoholic and malolactic fermentations were initiated with special inoculations. The wines were aged for 18 months in 500 litre second and third use Hungarian oak barrels. The light, fruity, spicy and less toasted lots were selected for this blend. When choosing the barrels, it was important to us that the wine should be able to show the best character of Blaufränkisch on its own, without being blended with another variety. Gentle vegan fining and filtering, then bottling in the summer of 2022.
