2021 Vaskapu Kadarka

6 different clones of Kadarka were planted on the Jenyei Hill in the early 1990s. This area was already well known for Kadarka in the 19th Century and is the backbone of Géza’s 2.5 hectares. 40% was whole cluster, 30% whole berry (hand destemmed), and the rest was trodden for juice to keep it covered and healthy. Relying on pump-overs, it spent 10 days in this partial “hamburger method” until being put into oak, stainless steel and fiber tank on the lees. No racking, bottled unfined and unfiltered with zero additions. This is pure Kadarka. Spicy, aromatic, acid driven, pungent and impossibly refreshing.
