Dúzsi Tamás Niola

The Dúzsi family's wine adventure started in 1994 with the purchase of a 3-hectare vineyard in Szekszárd in southern Hungary. That was planted with Kékfrankos. We now own 40 hectares, with all kinds of grape varieties. But the Dúzsis have not forgotten how to make a very good wine from Kékfrankos.

On the nose, their Niola Kékfrankos is expressive, with lots of ripe, if not overripe fruit. You recognize plums, rose hips, black cherries and chocolate. Blackberry jam in the mouth with a somewhat unusual spiciness of ketjap. Or maybe it's smoked bacon. This wine is intense and has a lot of character. The only thing it doesn't have is wood aging. There is no need for that either.
