Villany, in Hungary's warm southern corner, has staked its reputation on Cabernet Franc, and this is a Cabernet Franc-led blend — 55% Franc to 45% Cabernet Sauvignon — with fourteen years of age already behind it. Csaba Malatinszky came to winemaking sideways: a sommelier who opened one of Budapest's first serious wine shops, then went to work harvests abroad before founding his own estate in Villany in 1997. The farming is certified organic, the fermentation spontaneous on native yeasts, and only free-run juice is used — no press wine, no fining, no filtration. It ages twelve months in 500-liter Hungarian oak barrels, new and second-use, which is a rarer choice than it sounds and gives a gentler, more savory frame than French barriques would. A mature bottle: stand it upright a day ahead and decant off any sediment.
