Only 2500 bottles were made, and the demand is high, so if you want to have this great wine for yourself, you had better hurry!

Another damned good wine

Jackfall wines are not only elegant, but they have a special character as well, they have the “X factor”, which makes them stand out of the crowd. “Wow, this is damned good” – said Aljoscha Wright, the buyer of Oxford Wine Company, when he tasted Jackfall Cabernet Franc 3H 2019. The same wine was selected to be one of the Super 12 wines by the Hungarian Circle of Wine Writers. “Do Jackfall wines have an importer in Poland? What a pity, I would love to import them” – said Leszek Ziemba Polish wine importer when he first tasted Jackfall wines.
And the wines continue their glorious march. The best Syrah of the latest edition of the Villány wine contest was presented last weekend, before the Franc & Franc Forum in Villány, where invited foreign professionals had the chance to taste. Stefan Pegatzky renowned wine writer was so impressed by Jackfall Premium Syrah 2020, he commented that it was the best Syrah he had tasted in Hungary (and he tasted several ones, since earlier this year he participated in the Hungarian Wine Summit). He wrote the following about the wine: “A fresh yet dense Syrah with lively acidity and plenty of spice.”
