Affinitás Kékfrankos 2018 (750ml) Red

Affinitás Kékfrankos 2018 (750ml) RedConsider this friendly but funky red to be part of our ongoing Wine of the Month "experimental series". We certainly dont expect to sell scores of cases of this obscure variety (Kefrankos aka Blaufrankisch in neighboring Austria) from a little known location (Sopron, Hungary whose mountains are part of the Alps). Nonetheless, we want you to try Affinitas for its medium bodied textural flow, high strung dried blue fruits and savory, earthy finish are

as if all that isn’t enough

With majority of the blend being Cab we see a firm and expressive display of wonderful red fruit

Selective juice extraction to preserve color & aromas

Though it was a cooler vintage

which means "sons of the sun" in Mapuche (native Chilean)

The palate is packed with sage

candied orange peel and licorice

With its saline flavors on a background of pink grapefruit

Nose: Intense lifted dark chocolate and vanilla aromatics balanced with blackberry and plum fruits

toasted wood and undergrowth

in early August

Compliments most meals or enjoy on its own
