MARVLA TINDO - 2020 Frankovka Modrá

LOCATION: VILLAGE ČAJKOV, SITNO VOLCANO, TEKOVSKÝ, NITRA, SLOVAKIA / WINE MAKERS: VLADO KUNY AND MARTIN DANELIČ / GRAPE(S): FRANKOVKA MODRÁ SOIL: ANDESITE AND VOLCANIC TUFF / VINIFICATION: 4 WEEKS MACERATION, 1 YEAR IN LOCAL ŠTIAVNICA OAK / BOTTLED: MAY, 2021 / BOTTLES PRODUCED: 2100 A handful of bottles that made there way to a preeminent wine competition in Vienna opened the eyes of Martin and Vlado and many doors. It was an underdog and a champion, and remains that. An exemplary rendition of the grape sort. Full of violets and grapefruits, camphor and coffee, spicy, woodsy, long and scintillating with agile tannins and Habsburgian charm.
