Tasting notes :

In the Villany wine region portugieser is a variety that can be found in every cellar. In the ‘Legend of the devilplowed hill’ it is represented by the cat./p>

We couldn’t live everyday life without it.A thirst-quenchingly fruity, nice and easygoing wine that ‘purrs’ and flatters – a wine that feels good to drink every day!The varietal specific red berries on the nose are rounded off by a combination of sour cherry, plum and sloe on the palate. Its tannins are soft and velvety.

Meal suggestion :

It is a good match with lighter Hungarian dishes, fish for example, and Italian starters and pastas.
