Red Wine Grown Organically

A grape that once covered over 60,000 hectares in Hungary was reduced to 400 hectares post-Phylloxera and Communism. After spontaneous in stainless steel then 5 months in 10hl and 50hl oak casks, this is the most elegant and ethereal Kadarka yet. More like old school Poulsard albeit with Hungarian herbal cherry and spice.

100% Kadarka./ ABV 12%

Description

The Szekszárd appellation was originally established by the Celts, flourished under the Romans (Emperor Probus), continued under the Cistercian Abbeys, and even survived Turkish occupation due to the high tax revenue the wines generated. Once the Turks were pushed out, modern day Serbians were being pushed north by said Turks and brought the Kadarka grape with them. Up until this point, the appellation was almost entirely white wine. Since then Kékfrankos and a variety of Bordeaux varieties (Cab Franc and Merlot mostly) have taken firmly to the region.
