Thummerer Vili Papa Cuvée from Eger, Hungary. Named after the winemaker Vilmos Thummerer, the Vili Papa Cuvée is a true Bordeaux blend of the grapes cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and merlot. The full-bodied, powerful wine has a beautiful deep dark purple color. The flavor is plum and eucalyptus and licorice from the wood aging. Verder heeft de wijn aangename zuren en ronde tannines.
Decanter erkende de wijn met brons tijdens de World Wine Awards in 2007. In 2011, this wine won bronze at the Challenge du Vin.

Cabernet Franc is a fairly productive variety. It is in fact the original Cabernet grape. The much more famous Cabernet Sauvignon is a descendant of Cabernet Franc. It probably originated in Bordeaux where it is one of the classic components of Bordeaux wines. In the 17th century it was taken to the Loire Valley where it was subsequently successfully planted. Cabernet Franc prefers chalky gravel, sand and clay soils and ripens about ten days earlier than Cabernet Sauvignon. It thrives very well in cooler soils. At its best, Cabernet Franc has an unmistakable and appetizing aroma of raspberries and pebbles washed in spring water and a refreshingly sharp scent of blackcurrant leaves. This aroma tickles the taste buds. Cabernet Franc is used successfully in Bordeaux where it is a major player, especially on the soils of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. Furthermore, it is also very successful in the Loire and more specifically in Chinon Saumur-Champigny and Bourgeuil. The grape is also used in the South of France, Italy, California, Australia, New Zealand, Chile and South Africa. It is often used to blend with Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet Sauvignon is the most famous grape of all. It is therefore rightly called King Cab.

Cabernet Sauvignon is best known in Bordeaux where, together with Merlot and Cabernet Franc, it produces high-class wines. It needs a lot of warmth to ripen, otherwise it becomes green and juicy with a taste of green pepper. Too much warmth makes it soft and jammy, with a taste of blackcurrant. Cabernet Sauvignon produces very aromatic wines with scents of blackcurrant, vanilla, spices (pepper), tobacco, plum, cherry, toasted bread and cedar. The wines usually have a long shelf life, contain a lot of tannin and should in principle ripen in barriques. By applying modern vinification techniques, young wines can now also be drinkable quickly. In general, the wines have a high phenol content, they are purple (young) or dark red (old) and have a lot of power and structure. Cabernet Sauvignon can be found all over the world. Wherever someone wants to make a ‘serious’ wine, Cabernet Sauvignon is planted.

Merlot is one of the oldest Vitis vinifera varieties that ripens earlier than Carbernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Merlot is important in Bordeaux, especially in Saint-Emilion and Pomerol. Merlot plantings have increased significantly in recent years. The grape is very popular worldwide and people are increasingly realizing that Merlot must be planted in a fairly cool vineyard. This grape produces dark, cool, soft, spicy and fruity wines.
