Story: Kadarka is the treasure of Szekszárd. We have been owning it for a long time and we love to think that our wine region gave proper home to the variety. We are lucky to have “a little piece of the Szekszárd of our grandfathers” – we have a nearly 100 year old Kadarka plantation.
Description
Kadarka has a characteristic, lighter colour and the palate also feels lighter than that of other red wines, but you must not be deluded. This variety has a serious structure, probably the most serious of Hungary’s red varieties even though this feature is well hidden, however if you lay it down for years, you will discover the exceptional ageing potential of Kadarka. When we blend it with other varieties, we always keep the dominant characteristics of Kadarka in mind. We believe that good Kadarka wines need about 10% botrytised berries to achieve the unmistakable aromas of Szekszárd Kadarka.
