2023 Vaskapu Kert Red

Kert translates to 'garden,' reflecting this wine's Gemischter Satz-inspired blend with added complexity. The wine comprises 60% Kékfrankos fermented whole cluster semi-carbonic for 10 days, blended with 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot that undergo open vat fermentation for 12 days. The final 5% consists of direct pressed Kadarka and Hárslevelű, adding aromatic lift to the wine's crunchy grip. This versatile red can be enjoyed chilled or at cellar temperature.
