Gál Bikavér Superior (Bull’s Blood) 2009 (Eger)

Description

An excellent blend of Kekfrankos, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Kadarka and Pinot Noir. Hand harvested grapes that went through 20-30 days cold-soak maceration and 24 months small barrel maturation, followed by a further six months of bottle ageing. This careful handling produced a lively wine with very complex aromas of red fruits and oriental spices. Fiery, well structured wine, with soft tannins. Beautiful harmony.

Goes great with red meat in rich sauce, such as beef bourguignon, roast red meat or game, chicken with garlic, substantial “meaty” fish like salmon or tuna.
