Bargain Hunting – the Kecskemét terroir (?)

These are quick notes from sampling almost the whole sortiment of Dimenzió and some other equally lesser known wineries. Honestly, now I think I may have overrated some of them. 

Velezvin – Etyek-Budai Zengő, Zenit, Zefír Cuvée

Question of the day: in your opinion, how did the winemaker came up with the idea of marrying Zengő, Zenit and Zefír varietals?

I don’t know the answer either but I’m suspecting he or she did not have zweigelt in the vinyard. And for good(?).

No useful information can be found about Velezvin on google – but that’s OK because very little can be found about my blog too so it doesn’t mean it can’t be good.

Indeed, in spite of the sulphits, the nose brings pleasant elements such as acacia and other floral notes. On the palate lot of residual sugar and less than medium acidity. Medium body.

Score: 4-

Dimenzió – Igéző, 2007

A Furmint with 13% alc.

Pale golden color. The nose is very moderate and so is the body. Very short finish, almost no acidity but dry. Very thin.

Score: 3+/4-

Dimenzió – Révület, 2007

A Hárslevelű with 13% alc.

Now this one has a more intense nose of typical Hárslevelű notes. It has almost no acidity at all even for such a small body. I like the peach element on the palate though. The body’s just a tiny bit bigger than the Furmint’s.

Score: 4-

Benedek – Sauvignon Blanc, 2007

This could be a promising wine but it has no acidity at all to support the almost 14% alcohol, and I mean it. So let’s skip this one.

Dimenzió – Bűbáj, 2007

It’s a Kékfrankos rosé. I didn’t take notes but someone wrote into my notebook a short note for herself reminding her to buy one bottle of this.

Dimenzió – Csízió, 2007

Woody, wet grass, heavy nose, not fresh, with some hey undertone which is not bad. Unstable structure, small body.

On the palate spicy, mostly clove.

Score: 3+/4-

Dimenzió – Nimrud, 2007

This Kékfrankos has a messy brick color.

The nose is wet sand, clay. Quite thin and perfume-y.

Very tannic compared to it’s rather thin body. There’s some oil element too and a tart finish.

Score: 3/3-

Dimenzió – Virtus, 2007

The nose brings a Cabernet-ish leather character.

On the palate a leather, tart element is not mad more pleasant by the harsh tannins. Unpleasant tannic finish to the small body. Very dry.

Score: 3/3-

Dimenzió – Sámán, Cabernet Sauvignon, 2007

Score: 3
