Donausonne Blaufränkisch (75cl, 10.5%)

A late-harvest sweet red wine from Hungary made entirely from Blaufränkisch. The grapes are picked very late, after the berries have shrunk on the vine, concentrating sugars and flavour. It is bottled at 10.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. The nose shows deep black cherry, ripe plum, baking spices, allspice and subtle herbal undertones. The palate is soft, sweetly jammy and silky, with cherry, moderate tannins and a medium weight. The finish is moderate, with lingering dark fruit and gentle spice warmth.
