The velvety one
MERLOT 2019
4 450 Ft
Classic and familiar, yet not… a different kind of Merlot experience, from our Sopron vineyards.
Personal favorite
“When I want to break free from everyday life, I choose this wine. Its fruitiness is reminiscent of black berries and the interaction of barrel spices in the aroma and taste offer a chance for some really pleasant relaxation – not to mention that I have one of the most velvety red wines from Sopron in my glass.”
