Notes & Pairings
The 2018 Szívhangok is a cuvée of Hárslevelű, Juhfark, and Olaszrizling. The name of the wine translates to “heart sounds” in honor of Árpi’s father who is a cardiologist. The Hárslevelű spent 4 days on the skins, the Juhfark for 1 day, and the Olaszrizling was all direct press. Fermented separately, lightly filtered and with a small addition of SO2. This is more in line with classic Somló, the beginning of his learning curve for where he sees himself going, and really elegant.
