Notes & Pairings

Every other Juhfark in our portfolio is from the Basalt crumble soils of Somló and the similarly volcanic Northern shore of Lake Balaton in Hungary. They’ve either had lengthy élevage with botrytis, or were pure free run made fresh. This is a whole other side of Juhfark. One week on the skins, little to no Botrytis, and fermented and aged 8 months in Hungarian oak. This is more on the tea spectrum than fruit, killer acidity, more creamy than tannic, and the driest wine of the entire lineup. If served chilled, let this one come up to cellar temperature.
