FEKETE JÁRDOVÁNY 2024

The core turning black in the glass, a slow-moving, substantial batch. The scent is the warm, elegant character of the Villány vineyard. A flattering harmony of ripe, overripe red and black fruits, delicately salty-smoky notes and coffee. When tasted, it is rich in soft tannins, but the aromas are not hidden. Typical of great wines, it closes with an intense, long finish in all its elements.

Description

Fekete Járdovány is a forgotten variety from past centuries that has revived by Attila Gere. The vines used for grafting were taken from the graft bank of the local research institute.

After almost 10 years of work, the first vintage of 2011 was born. We love the elegant and vibrant fruit, the fine tannins and the lively acidity, whose special harmony makes this wine unique. We use a short ageing period in 300-litre second-fill small oak barrels, so that the subtle spices blend beautifully with the modern style we envisioned. Research by Dr José Vouillamoz, the world’s leading grape geneticist, has shown that the variety is unique and not related to any other known variety. To our knowledge, this is the only commercially available bottling of Fekete Járdovány in the world.
