This elegant Hungarian Merlot, featuring a stylish label, is a velvety red wine that also makes an excellent novelty gift idea for Labrador dog owners.

The grapes are grown in the fertile loess soil on the gentle slopes near Lajver Creek and are hand-harvested at peak ripeness. The wine is expertly aged for 12 months in Hungarian oak barrels, resulting in a well-balanced body, refined acidity, and smooth tannins.

It offers aromas of forest fruits, floral notes, and a hint of barrel spices. Flavours of sour cherries, plum, and blackberry dominate the fruit-forward palate.
