Tasting notes

Thanks to its popularity, our special Bock 70+ batch has become a tradition, and is making its debut with a new vintage. The 2018 vintage is the result of a blend of wines from the Black Mountain and the Ördögars, with Bläufrankisch (Black Mountain) 50%, Merlot (Black Mountain) 25%, Cabernet Franc (Ördögárok) 25%.

The wine has spent 14 months in first and second fill barriques, making it a perfect choice for those who are new to the Villa.

The acidity of the bluegrass adds a liveliness to the cuvée, and the alcohol is restrained in the tasting. The 70+ is a kind of entry into the world of great wines, but with its balance and elegant, tobacco-chocolate notes, it paves the way for wine lovers to Villány’s finest batches.

About the year

January was milder this year than in 2017, and while there was snow as well as sleet, the record cold was to come in March. Vines were among the latest plants (fruit trees) to flower, and so the frozen outset of the spring in early March (-14°C) only resulted in a lack of produce in the flatter vineyards. Temperatures of around 20°C were quick to follow the cold start, and so, despite the cold, spring was to start early. Temperatures of up to 30°C were not rare in April, and May was also a warm month. As a result, the vines began to develop a good week or two earlier than usual.

Summer also began hot, with values of around 30°C, and so the two-week advantage over the previous year continued. The slight drop in temperature in mid-June did nothing to retract the advantage, and so everyone began to prepare for an early August harvest. The year’s weather raised no problems as regards the year’s vintage, and pest control was also at its satisfactory level. The hot weather continued through August, frequently reaching 34°C. Although August was rather dry, the precipitation evened out at a monthly 60-80 mm, meaning that the grapes ripened early and that the harvest could begin on August 22.

2018 promises to be an exceptional year, the sugars forming satisfactorily as a result of the sunlight and heat and the wines being built upon healthy grapes.
