Tasting Notes
A Gere Attila's Csillagvölgy-dűlő Cabernet Franc from Villány's celebrated single-vineyard site opens with an expressive, violet-tinged nose of fresh blackcurrant, crushed raspberry, and wild herbs, underpinned by a whisper of graphite and warm earth. On the palate, the wine reveals the hallmark elegance of Villány Cabernet Franc — silky, fine-grained tannins framing a core of dark cherry, plum, and dried herbs, with a subtle thread of cedar and iron-rich minerality that speaks clearly of the site's loamy, limestone-laced soils. The 2018 vintage lends generous ripeness without sacrificing the variety's characteristic freshness and tension, making this a wine of both immediate pleasure and considerable aging potential.
