Tasting Notes: Blaufränkisch from 60 year old vines, spontaneously fermented and 4 years in wooden barrels on the yeast - a natural wine evolution! On the nose pencil, elderberry toast, juniper and laurel, fine animalism (no contradiction), leather. On the palate a powerful texture with lots of extract from the old vines, yet cool and elegant, dense but not opulent, a great mouthfeel, the acidity balanced and perfectly supported by the tannin, sour cherries with a bit of black pepper in the finish, only minute toasty notes.

Tasting Notes: The name says it right up front: With the Hidden Treasures projects, Roland Velich searches for hidden treasures that he wants to bring out of their slumber with a respective partner winemaker in order to grant them the attention they deserve. Hidden Treasure Project No. 2 is particularly worth discovering: In collaboration with Tamas Kis from Somlo, a completely dry white wine blended from Hárslevelü, Furmint and Welschriesling has now found its way into the bottle. The wine shows with drive and precise structure, how much tension the terroir of this 2nd project produces.
