Bogyole (Primeur) 2009

DOWNLOAD BOGYOLE 2009 WINE-INFO

Fresh and bursting wine with delightful aromas of banana, bright red fruits (early cherry, sour cherry, red currant) and black coffee. This wine is made differently from other reds, fermented in whole cluster without oxygen so the wine is born inside the berries. The resulting wine is “typical” Beaujolais nouveau like, thus we suggest consuming it cooler than red wines in general, at 12-13 ْ°C.

THE STORY BEHIND THE WINE

-Vylyan’s label design tender

Vylyan always takes the opportunity to support art that represents value and gladly help the initiatives of the open-minded, young and talented artists.

A good example for this is Vylyan’s design tender for the label of Bogyole. Year by year they give the opportunity to art students at University of Pecs to design the label and introduce their talent to a wider audience.

-Goose and wine… - St. Martin’s tradition in Hungary

The new primeur wines in Hungary are released on St. Martin’s Day (11. November). St. Martin was a fourth century Hungarian-born saint. There are many folk beliefs relating to him, and most have to do with geese and wine. According to one old saying, “Who does not eat goose on St. Martin’s Day, will be hungry all year.”

St. Martin’s Day.

St. Martin’s Day falls around the time when judgement is declared on the year’s vintage, with the first tastings and geese are slaughtered, stuffed and gobbled up for this day. Hence, the saint is associated with wine. Fresh wine resembling France’s Beaujolais Nouveau, is consumed on this day, with many traditional goose dishes.

A typical primeur wine made differently from other reds, the process called whole cluster fermentation. The wine starts fermenting without oxygen so the wine is born inside the berries. This technique preserves the fresh, fruity quality of the wine, thus need to be consumed cooler than red wines in general, at 12-13 ºC.
