MÁTRAI MACSÓ

Merlot-Syrah Cuveé | 2018

The Mátrai Macsó was born of volcanic eruptions in the Hungarian Northern Central Mountains. His divine existence is questioned, although legends circulate to this day that he survived the age of fire and returned even after the extinct of the volcanoes .
It is said that he was seen in the caves of the Mátra as he casts fiery sparks to himself to recall the age of fire.

The winemakers of the Soós Family Winery in Gyöngyöspata believe that he sneaks into their cellars at night and inspire their wines with his fire. Therefore the wine, named after the Matrai Macso stands out from the world of ordinary wines with its fiery and extraordinary flavor and higher-than-average alcohol content.

The two grape varieties found each other in 2012. This is how ‘MerSy’, the specialty of our winery, was born. Syrah brings a spicy character to the fruity aroma and taste of Merlot. Matured for 6 months in wooden barrels.
