Heimann & Fiai Bati Kereszt

Among all their Kékfrankos plantings Bati Kereszt is the most protected, North-facing plot, covered from two sides by forest. Ripening and harvest are delayed by 2-3 weeks compared to other vineyards. The prolonged growing season adorns the wines with a more fragile structure and typically delicate, floral aromas. Lots of wet earth and some graphite in the nose make this feel very young, and there’s remarkable acidity for the vintage, married to a substantial, moderately dry tannin structure. Bold and quite muscular finish with pronounced minerality and a touch of savoury character. Drink or hold.
