Tasting notes :

Noble wine named after Duke Montenuovo Nandor, who owned parts of our vineyards at the beginning of the 20th century./p>

We truly respect him, and we are glad we are in good contact with the Family. The specialty of the is that Nandor Montenuovo’s great-grand son, Alexander Kübeck-Montenuovo has been involved in the blendig of the 2013 vintage cuvée, so the family bloodline has left eternal imprint in the wine.

This wine is a well balanced blend with a golden mean between the full-bodied and the lively-fruity styles. Its bright, fruity upbeat is filled with diverse scents in which bourdeaux varieties come together in a harmonising accord completed with spiciness of the syrah.

It’s complexity makes it a good match with many kinds of dishes, thus a favourite of the best restaurants.
