MONTENUOVO 2015

Noble wine named after Duke Montenuovo Nandor, who owned parts of our vineyards at the beginning of the 20th century.

This wine is a well balanced blend with a golden mean between the full-bodied and the lively-fruity styles. Its bright, fruity upbeat is filled with diverse scents in which bourdeaux varieties come together in a harmonising accord completed with spiciness of the syrah.

It’s complexity makes it a good match with many kinds of dishes, thus a favourite of the best restaurants.

From the outset we believe wine and art belong together. We asked seven contemporary Hungarian writers and poets to draw inspiration from the premium wines of Vylyan Winery. From the essence of poems and short stories the creating hand conjured up artistic drawings, and we now present the result to the world on the Vylyan bottles. The drawings reflect the soul of the wines on paper, as the artists see them.

Jolly Joker of gastronomy. It’s complexity makes it a good match with many kinds of dishes, thus a favourite of the best restaurants.

2015

Excellent, extremely sunny, hot summer with a couple of heat alerts, but the vines were not frightened. We started the harvest on the 1st of September and the ideal, warm, dry weather lasted till the middle of October. The harvested grape was harmonic, well-balanced and concentrated, the wine became fresh and lively in colour.
