Zelna Farko-Ko Balaton Kekfrankos 2022  £27.87

Zelna Farko-Ko Dulo 2022

The history of the family winery began in 2014 with a few hectares of vineyards. Since then, in their modern cellar, they have been making wines from two Balatonfüred and one Balatonszőlős vineyard, from a total of 15 hectares, strictly organically, and ractising sustainable farming.

In addition to Olaszrizling, the most important variety of the Balatonfüred-Csopak wine region, Kekfrankos, Merlot and Zweigelt provide the basis for their varietal wines and blends, but they are constantly experimenting, learning and updating their plantations so that they can show with their wines not only the character of the region and the varieties, but also what they think about their environment and the world.

They do not have decades of experience or generations of winegrowers behind them. Still, they have an enthusiastic and persistent professional team with whom they get to know the potential of their plantations better every day.

Zelna's single-vineyard red wine. After two months of ageing in stainless steel, it was racked into Hungarian oak barrels and allowed to mature for a full year.

Ruby ​​red colour and crunchy cherries on the nose. The limestone soil had a definite impact on this versatile variety. The vibrant acidity on the palate, the unforgettable fruitiness and the special, salty-mineral duality of the Farkó-kő vineyard, is finally expressed in a red wine. The total production is just over a thousand bottles. Certified organic wine.
