Sauska Siller
2019
Aromas of fresh pomegranate flesh lead the nose followed by bold fruits and a touch of cinnamon on the palate. Refreshing minerality, spring cherry freshness, cheeky pink complexity in the glass. And yes, you can absolutely put ice in it!

The Year
2019 was the driest winter of the last decade in Villány. Thanks to the winter, bud-break came earlier this year. The period from bud-break to flowering started with a warm April, followed by rainy May, which was the coldest in the last 8 years. Then a very hot June came followed by rainy, cold July and a nice August. We started the harvest with speed-picking for Rose in the last week of August, with the focus to preserve fresh fruitiness. The rest of the season was a bit hectic with warm weather and even frost. In spite of the ups and downs, the berries arrived in the processing room with perfect phenolic ripening, high potential alcohols, low malic acid content, and high color intensity.
