Kéknyelű


A bottle full of emotions, showing a different face with every glass. A unique, indigenous variety, a grape we can only admire. Orange oil, a hint of smoke, salty marzipan, stone fruits. After a while some subtle, powder-like cherry flower appears, as if a lady elegantly lifted her gown while walking, making her charm visible.

 

Story:

The name ‘Kéknyelű’ means ‘blue stalk’, it refers to the slightly blue tint of the petiole. Kéknyelű is quite likely of Hungarian origin. Very popular among the winemakers, though it is hard to cultivate. It ripens relatively late therefore it needs protection from the hungry games living in the forests of Badacsony and Szent György mountain. Planting alternate rows with a variety such as Budai Zöld encourages more consistent pollination. In good vintages it gives elegant wine with creamy structure and subtle, fine acidity. Rare grape variety that is capable of giving exceptionally high quality wines.
