HEIMANN PORKOLAB-VOLGY KADARKA

Its grace, delicate tannins and distinctive spicy character make it an excellent match with modern cuisine. Kadarka is a capricious variety, so we have set out to identify and cultivate rare and forgotten clones to improve its consistency. In our experience great precision and low intervention in winemaking are the key to preserving its unique character.

Cherry skins and goji berries (earthy, sweet, red, piquant, dry). Tannins so silky and slippery they almost undress the wine as you taste. Cranberry is too tart, raspberry is too sweet, redcurrant is too tart. It balances, on point, somewhere on a tightrope between them all, teasing the tongue to find what it is. It scuffs sweet woodland earth into the air. It throws red petals in the air. It’s heady with white pepper. It’s gentle (as with all these wines), but not effete. It curves like a long, soft feather, and then finishes with a red-ink flourish on old parchment. (TC)

Porkoláb-völgy is where our newly selected Kadarka clones are planted. The upper part of the valley is comprised of west facing slopes and a windy hilltop.
