Story

At Somló, they would get rid of the rumor, but in the eyes of the wine lovers, Juhfark is the wine of wedding nights. There is a strong belief that Juhfark is the wine that was produced in the 18th century. century, male members of the Habsburg ruling house consumed it to maintain their masculinity. Last but not least, the generation of male offspring was tied to this wine: if they drank a good Somló wine on the wedding night, they were more likely to apply for a male offspring. After the Habsburgs, several European ruling houses believed in this, and there are no rumors about how successful they were. The exclusivity of sheep’s tail is questioned in the story by the fact that Somló wine used to be a blend in which many grape varieties were harvested together.

Description

Juhfark Reserve is the wine of purposeful eccentrics who are not bound by conventions because they know what they want and are never afraid to start over. They are unique, special and not boring at all, just like the rich, characteristic taste of Juhfark Reserve. In its scent, stony minerality and tropical fruits appear at the same time, which immediately tempts you to distant landscapes. In addition to peaches and pears, the taste is enriched by ripe acids, and the smokiness of the wooden barrel also appears in the background. In Juhfark Reserve, a real cosmopolitan drink combining the unadulterated features of Somló with the forward-thinking spirit of Hungarian tradition and foreign wine culture was born: extravagant and sophisticated at the same time, which only becomes more complete during bottle maturation.
