The wine boasts a robust structure, refined tannins, and a persistent finish, making it a delightful companion for a hearty meal. Sauska Cabernet Franc is indeed a testament to the nobility and elegance of this grape variety in Hungary's terroir.

Tasting Notes

Seriously rich aromas of tobacco and oriental spices, mostly cardamom, cloves, and a touch of cinnamon. Ripe red and black berries come through on the palate, balanced with wonderful freshness and incredibly silky tannins. A truly fine wine.
