Tuzko Kekfrankos 2020

This winery is the Hungarian outpost of Antinori, who are stars of the Italian wine scene. The wine itself is made from 100% Kékfrankos (a.k.a. Blaufränkisch), which is a popular variety in Hungary. If you’re a Pinot Noir fan, this wine, with its elegant interplay of dried cherry, savoury herbs and spice, just might be a pleasant surprise. Pair it with charcuterie and cheeses, or meat-and-mushroom stew with root veggies. (Vintages Panel,March 2018)
