DUENNIUM is the ’flagship’ of Vylyan – produced only in the best vintagesfrom carefully selected grapes of the best vineyards.
The 2011 blend is dominated by Cabernet Franc from the Mandolás and rounded off with Merlot harvested from the Pillangó vineyard to createa harmonious unity. This wine has an explicit, upstanding and balanced structure with ripe tannins, vital acidity and velvety texture. The aromas are intense and complex with notes of ripe but lively black sour cherry, hip, cranberry, cinnamon and vanilla notes. The palate is deep with a long-lasting finish. This wine is a delicate experience, an extension of the moment.
Good choice with venison, joint of beef and steaks. It is also recommended with dark chocolate desserts.
2015
VINTAGE – 2015 We had some excellent months with a very high number of sunshine hours and cumulative heat, as well as a couple of record-high temperatures. But the grapes were not frightened, and the weather remained dry and warm till mid-October. The harvest of 2015 began on 1 September, we received grapes with good proportions and balance, as well as a fine nutrient content. The wines made have livelier acidity, feel vivid and crispy, with powerful fruity notes.

VINIFICATION-MATURATION
Duennium is blended from the most beautiful wines of our ‘Bordeaux’ grape varieties.
The concentrated and mature grapes were macerated long. The malolactic fermentation and maturation took place in 225 litre Hungarian oak barrels of mixed age (50 % new, 50 % 1 year old).
The wine was aged first for 17 months when the lots with the most character were selected and blended. The process continued with 1 more year of ageing in 6000 litre wooden casks before the wine was eventually bottled.
