About the Wine
Blaufränkisch—known locally as Kékfrankos—is one of Central Europe’s most expressive red grapes, and in the volcanic landscapes around Lake Balaton, it takes on remarkable depth and finesse. Unwritten Poem by Tiwari House is a limited-production expression shaped by volcanic soils, indigenous viticulture, and a philosophy of minimal intervention. Crafted with low sulphur and a focus on purity, the 2019 vintage reflects both place and restraint, offering generosity without heaviness and clarity without compromise.
Tasting Experience
Colour
Deep ruby with vibrant clarity.
Aroma & Palate
The nose is rich and layered, revealing dark ripe cherry, raspberry, blackcurrant, and plum, complemented by subtle notes of vanilla and dark chocolate. On the palate, the wine is dry, fresh, and fruit-driven, with a lush yet controlled texture. Fine-grained tannins provide structure, while the volcanic terroir contributes a mineral edge that keeps the wine focused and lively. Despite its depth, the alcohol remains surprisingly low, enhancing drinkability and balance.
Body
Medium-bodied with a velvety, supple mouthfeel.
Finish
Long, enduring, and mineral-laced, leaving dark fruit and gentle chocolate notes.
Why This Wine Matters
Blaufränkisch is often celebrated for its ability to combine fruit intensity with freshness, and this Lake Balaton expression exemplifies that balance. Grown on volcanic slopes and vinified with minimal sulphur, Unwritten Poem speaks clearly of terroir rather than technique. For Singapore drinkers seeking an alternative to heavier New World reds or familiar European classics, this wine offers elegance, depth, and authenticity—rooted firmly in Hungary’s indigenous wine culture.
