Alternativa 2017, Slobodne Vinarstvo

100% Blaufränkisch, or Frankovka, as they say in Slovakia. When opened, it is immediately reminiscent of fresh cranberry and cassis juice, with notes of cinnamon, plum, white pepper, cedar and sage that wrap around it over time. As always with Slobodné wines, the core is clear, invigorating and punchy fresh, but drink this at a degree or 16, and let the wine become soft and sultry, without losing energy. In our opinion, this is what can be drunk in the summer evening sun. Feel free to go to the in-laws too!
