2021 Szívhangok

The name of the wine translates to “heart murmur” in honor of Árpi’s father who is a cardiologist. The grapes and method might change year to year, but it’s a sounding board and fingerprint of the vintage. The 2021 happens to be a Somlói kitchen sink co-fermented field blend of Chardonnay, Tramini, Olaszrizling, Furmint, Hárslevelű, and Juhfark. It’s basically a Somlói Gemischter Satz fermented in 1000 liter oak barrels. To add even more liveliness to the 2021, he left around 4 g/l of residual sugar at bottling which has resulted in a light fizziness. Such a pleasure to drink and a completely new school of thought on the hill to be sure.
