Notes & Pairings
This 100% Jakab/Olasz Kadarka was hand picked in September, spent 6 days on the skins, one daily punchdown, and was fermented in open vats. Pressed and aged in stainless steel without filtration or any additions. The tannins here are something we don’t find in another Kadarka in our portfolio, and yet it’s fully in balance with the wine. The 2020 spent 12 days skins, the 2021 spent 8 days skins, and the 2022 spent 6 days. Perhaps they’ve found the sweet spot again in the 2023. Light in body, not shy on acid and with a firm grip, this makes us want to return for another lunch of grey cattle and juniper berry pörkölt cooked over an open fire bogrács.
