🌟 A soulful, spicy Hungarian red that plays a bluesy tune of elegance, freshness, and terroir-driven depth.

👁 In the Glass:
Medium ruby with garnet hues — bright, translucent, and beautifully expressive.

👃 On the Nose:
Aromatic and lifted, with notes of sour cherry, redcurrant, and blackberry, intertwined with hints of violet, white pepper, and smoky oak. A whisper of forest floor, clove, and dried herbs adds complexity and a sense of place.

👅 On the Palate:
Medium-bodied and finely structured, showing a vibrant mix of tart red berries, cranberry, and plum, balanced by fresh acidity and fine-grained tannins. The wine reveals its volcanic origins with a mineral undertone, while subtle aging in oak brings a smooth finish with notes of spice, cedar, and a touch of cocoa. The overall impression is elegant, fresh, and harmonious.

🍽️ Food Pairing:
Perfect with roast duck, wild boar ragu, paprika-spiced stews, or mature sheep’s cheese — a wine that pairs naturally with both Hungarian cuisine and rustic European fare.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Beautifully drinkable now, with the structure to age gracefully for 5–8 years, developing notes of leather, truffle, and dried cherry with time.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Monopole Blues Kékfrankos is a distinctive expression of Hungary’s Eger region, blending international polish with native character. It’s a wine of energy and soul, offering both freshness and finesse, ideal for curious palates and thoughtful pairings.
