This Merlot comes from the rocky, south-facing Kopár Hill, probably the most revered of all the Villány vineyards. Here the grapes are exposed to the sun all day and the warm, slightly rocky limestone soil contributes to their quality. The grapes for the wines produced here are harvested up to 2-3 weeks earlier than most of the other plots, yet always retain their intensity and vibrancy. Carefully selected 300-litre new Hungarian oak barrels provide the elegant and well-integrated spice notes that complement the long finish of this opulent Merlot.
