Homola Cabernet Franc 2020

From the basalt-rich soils of the Tihany peninsula at Lake Balaton, this Cabernet Franc offers a rich yet finely balanced profile. Its complex aromas of ripe cranberry and other black fruits are complemented by hints of spice, including black and pink pepper. Matured for 24 months, the wine’s texture is round and silky, with minimal intervention to preserve its natural essence. Unfiltered and unfined, this wine captures the unique character of its volcanic terroir.

About the Homola Winery

The Homola winery is located in Paloznak, North Balaton, just next to the famous winemaking towns of Csopak and Balatonfüred. It was founded by Szabolcs Homola, who produces a range of juicy, well-crafted wines with his winemaker, Attila Homonna from Tokaj. They use mostly traditional grapes of the area, like Olaszrizling, Furmint and Kékfrankos, but aren’t afraid to experiment with international grape varieties like Chardonnay and Syrah, or to put a new twist on old styles.

The wines are usually refreshing and crisp, true to the traditional style of the area. They are made with great respect for the region’s natural characteristics, using wild yeasts and natural techniques whenever possible.
