Bukolyi Marcell

KÉKFRANKOS BRIGHT

2024

After 10 years making wine for the family winery, Marcell Bukolyi struck out on his own and formed his own winery in 2016. The winery is 14 hectares, and it is the only fully certified organic winery in Eger. It is located on the foot of the Nagy-Eged hill, with rich chalk soils and a volcanic subsoil.

The Bright Kékfrankos is Marcell’s first Siller wine, a traditional type of dark rosé (or chillable red) that has been consumed in Hungary for hundreds of years. Spontaneously fermented and aged in stainless steel, and aged on the lees for 5 months in stainless steel tanks. The wine is juicy and silky, with boysenberry, ripe blackberry, cherry cordial and cranberry. Unfiltered and unfined, certified organic, vegan.
