What stands out about Fekete’s Juhfark is its savage energy and fierce mineral intensity; a raw, untamed taste like no other. And yet, they have a certain profundity on par with the world’s most lauded labels, all while retaining the unique identity of Somló—a microscopic lava-based, basalt-rich terroir jutting directly out of the plains. Today’s 2015 is Fekete’s current release: the wine spent one year in ancient Hungarian barrels, two in stainless steel, and one more in bottle. All this time, it remains untouched, allowing nature to run its course on this high-intensity grape. The result is spectacular, even a bit shocking—like a blast of ice-cold water to the face—but it’s an experience that cannot be ignored.

Description

Known as “The Grand Old Man of Somló” since the ‘70s, Fekete Béla is an elderly wine magician who spun grapes from an otherworldly volcanic hillside into thought-provoking bottles with endless depth. Every enchanting wine he’s crafted over the decades (they age for decades, too) speaks to the mysticism swirling about the microscopic Hungarian appellation that is Somló. But as of the 2015 vintage, this 90+-year-old legend has retired and passed the torch to the new generation. He’s hardly stepped away though—you’ll still find him still assisting, tasting, and offering up his invaluable wisdom in the cellar! So, you can bet we were just as eager to get our hands on Fekete’s 2015 Juhfark—the region’s most famous and sparsely planted indigenous grape. Here’s the only entry you’ll find about Juhfark on Jancis Robinson’s website: “Very rare Hungarian vine associated with Somló.” The wine itself, however, deserves pages of devotion and praise
