Notes & Pairings
We visited this part of the Krisztus Vineyard in April 2022. Initially we thought we were passing through some older abandoned vineyard. Oszkár pointed at it and said these are mutant clones of Kadarka that only yield around 200 grams per vine. One of the first candidates for going un-pruned. This wine lives up to the main goal Oszkár sees in the Fruška Gora – there must be intense fruit first then acidity second. Super small clusters were lightly treaded and then left on the skins for 2 weeks followed by 16 months in oak barrels. It was bottled unfiltered by gravity with zero additions. Super ripe, super unripe, botrytis fermented dry, and utterly unique and delicious Kadarka.
