Notes & Pairings
We’ve spent years and years buying single barrel vintages of Juhfark, Furmint and Hárslevelű with long élevage in older, sometimes 100 year old plus large format barrels. We are still doing and love this, but we skipped right over a local favorite in doing so - CO2 charged Juhfark from a particularly high acid vintage. It’s a play on words and it’s a playful wine. Was it aged 5 years on the lees and hand rack and riddled Juhfark? Far from it, but it tastes like Somló and is priced to be accessible and take a risk on. After talking with Károly about it, the harvest of 2020 was of course peak COVID. He didn’t know how long or how bad things would get. He did however know that he wanted to drink bright sparkling Juhfark. Pro tip, add a splash of Gin and squeeze of lemon for the lesser known Hungarian 75 cocktail.
