Vintage evaluation: Winter was cold and relatively long. From April wehad a beautiful sunny weather until July, when colder weather and more rain were dominant. It didn’t fall permanently but in great quantities at once as rainstorms. From the beginning and mid August wehad nice summer weather again with really high temperature. This weather lasted until the end of the harvest which was in the first half of October. All along we had summer weather with 25-28 degrees without rain. The grape developed nicely in the whole year, the plantations showed extreme vitality, maybe they brought their best so far. Place of origin: Villány. Vineyard: Ördögárok. Age of the vines (years): 7. Vines/hectare: 7.200. Yield: 25 hl/ha. Method of cultivation: Middle cordon; 230 x 120 twin vines Harvest time: Mid September. Vinification: Alcoholic fermentation happened in steel tanks for cca. 10 days and the malolactic fermentation in barrels. Aged in 2nd filled barrique for 10 months. Characteristics: Typically „pinot” middle body, deep bourdon colour. Sweet, ripe aromas; vanilla and sour cherry mix at the first nose. In the background fine mineral, fungal-earthy marks with opening cocoa-cinnamon gusts, which are accompanied by a complex forest berry cavalcade with red and black berries in a full sip when tasting. Its acids are certain, the tannins are youthful, the aftertaste is long. All these show a complex, elegant and still kind Pinot Noir. Ripeness: Well drinkable even now, but it will reaches its peak expectedly cca. 2017-2018.
