Jackfall Winery, Villány
The Jackfall Winery is located in the small village of Kisjakabfalva, in the Villány wine region. Originally a Hungarian settlement, it was populated by Swabians after the Turkish occupation, who named the village Jackfall, a name adopted by the winery.
Spanning 15 hectares in the Villány wine region, Jackfall Winery cultivates vineyards in Kisharsny and Nagytótfalu. Grape varieties include Chardonnay, Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Kékfrankos, and uniquely, they work with vineyard-selected, barrel-aged Portugieser. The winery produces between 70 000 and 85 000 bottles annually.
Jackfall Winery always strives for high quality, crafting wines through traditional methods. The excellent quality is attributed to the work of the winemaker András Köszeli, who gained experience in renowned wine regions like Tuscany, Napa Valley, and Provence.
Owners of the winery, Borbála Jandrasics and Imola Elek, focus on adapting to the dynamic world while staying true to the original values inherited from their parents.
Cseresznyés 2018
Concentrated, ruby color with a hint of tiny purple touch. Its aroma is more pronounced than moderate, a blend of red and blue berries: ripe cherry, plum, blackberry, and blueberry.
Kékfrankos 2018
The shades of violet on the red fabric provide a pleasant and subtle harmony for the eyes. Its distinctive aroma vibrates with spiciness, allowing the notes of blackberries to stand out and form an exciting unity. On the palate, it proves the enclosed maturity in a lively and refined interplay of tannins and dynamic structure, demonstrating a spirited lightness.
Gesztenyés 2020
A medium ruby color. Intense fruitiness on the nose, with ripe cherry, plum compote, almond, and sweet spices. The palate is deep and well-structured, featuring raspberry and cherry flavors, along with sour cherry and plum. Silky and soft tannins contribute to a beautiful maturity, well-integrated with subtle barrel influence, leading to a long finish.
Villányi Franc 2019 3H
The combination of three different barrels is the essence that the Jackfall Villányi Franc 2019 3H blend presents. A soft fruitiness embraces the spectrum of Cabernet Franc’s distinctive flavor notes, and its uniqueness is guided by consciousness and a spirit of experimentation.
The blend, aged in French and Hungarian barrique oak barrels from various cooperages, completes the harmony. Paired with delicately prepared red meats, it enhances the enjoyment of additional flavors with its spicy fruitiness.
