SEBESTYÉN Görögszói Bikavér 2019

A vineyard selection Bull's Blood from the east-facing Görögszó, located on one of the warmest part of the Szekszárd wine region.

A full-bodied and powerful red wine bursting with flavour and juicy, ripe red berry aromas. The elegant tannins from the barrel ageing are brought into beautiful balance by the considerable acidity, and the sip culminates in a lasting and memorable finish.
