Vylyan Csóka 2019

Csókaszőlő is an old and almost-forgotten Hungarian local red grape variety. Together with the local wine research institute, the Vylyan winery has brought the grape variety back to life, and now grows 4000 vines of this delicate grape in their vineyard.

With a medium body, fresh acidity and bursting juicy fruit flavors of rosehip and cherries, it’s an ideal bistro red, great to pair with lighter dinners and cosy evenings. A unique and versatile wine for a variety of occasions.

About the Vylyan winery

The Vylyan winery, run by Mónika Debreczeni and her team, is one of the best-known early pioneers of the Villány wine region. Established in the 1990s, their wines have always reflected the elegant side of the wine region and they have focused on balanced red wines even when over-oaked, overly heavy red wines were still the norm in the area.

Today, they grow wine on 120 hectares, focusing on red grapes such as Kékfrankos, Cabernet Franc, Portugieser, as well as lesser-known varieties such as Csókaszőlő, and are known for their classic, elegant style.
