Flavor Profile
This cuvée from Jurgen Maeijer’s boutique winery in Hosszúhetény is matured entirely in ceramic amphora. This unfiltered wine is a blend between Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and a little Cabernet Franc, resulting in a well rounded, ripe flavor profile. Think jammy blackberries, black cherries and plums, packed with delicate oak spice. Rich, elegant, and lingering, best enjoyed after a short aeration to reveal its finest character.

PRODUCER INFORMATION
Producer: Maeijer & Leemans
Maeijer & Leemans winery was founded by Dutch-born Jürgen Maeijer and Belgian ceramist Pieter Leemans. Jürgen had been visiting the Pécs area regularly since the 1980s and gradually developed a deep connection to its landscape. Today, the winery’s cellar is located in Jürgen’s home near the Basilica in the heart of Pécs, while their vineyards are situated in Hosszúhetény.
Maeijer & Leemans take a distinctive approach to winemaking: their wines ferment in stainless steel tanks before maturing in locally made amphorae crafted by Pieter himself. All of their wines ferment spontaneously, with Kékfrankos, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot among their principal varieties.
Their current range also includes a Welschriesling sourced from Csopak, which is currently their sole white wine. With further releases in the pipeline, however, their white-wine portfolio is one to keep an eye on.
