We try to display the vintage and alcohol content as accurately as possible, but since there may be differences during vintage changes, please ask our customer service about the current vintage before purchasing, if this is a consideration when choosing the product.

Sauska Villányi Cuvée 7

A blend of three Bordeaux varieties in fine balance, from the Konkoly, Ördögárok and the iconic Kopár vineyards. Deep ruby colour, ripe, warm earthy, spicy nose. Lively on the palate, with notes of cherry, damson jam and clove. Due to the vintage, it will not be strong in robust body, high alcohol or serious tannin structure in the future. It is much more characterised by optimal ripeness, fine barrel use and good balance. The ageing took place over a long 15 months in 225-litre barrique barrels.

Producer information
Starting a new large winery in Villány in the early 2000s? A crazy idea. Especially if most of the starting team is not even from there. Winemakers Ildikó Markó and László Latorczai came from Budapest and Lake Balaton, and the owner, Krisztián Sauska - despite his childhood in Somberek and his Villány roots - was still considered an "American" in local folklore. Yet it was precisely this lack of a past that gave the freedom from which the unusual Sauska name, reinforced by numerous cuvées, could emerge. The new vintage of the Cuvée 7 and the international success of the Cuvée 5 have made the Sauska winery known in Tokaj as well.

They were among the first to develop their dry white wine selection, which quickly became popular, and which, in addition to the native furmint, muscat and hárslevelű, also includes wines that have become popular favourites, such as sauvignon blanc and chardonnay. The base material for their methode traditionelle sparkling wines, which will soon be opening in their Budafock cellar, is exclusively their own Tokaj grapes, and the basis of their quality-oriented philosophy is terroir and loyalty to it.
