For the winemaker, a good Bikavér is above all about the finish and the balance; it should not taste like a Bordeaux blend. More than 70% refreshing Kékfrankos gives the fruity, lively core; Kadarka and the other varieties add further layers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHarvest starts in mid-September and runs for about three weeks, with the bunches sorted by hand. 15–20% of the best whole bunches go straight into the fermentation tank; the rest is destemmed. Each variety ferments spontaneously on its own in small tanks. The wine then ages for 12 months in used 500- and 1,000-litre oak casks and is bottled unfined and unfiltered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass it is fresh and red-fruited, mostly strawberry and cherry, with discreet spice from the oak; round, elegant, juicy and dry.
