Pastor Kadarka 2011 (Szekszárd)

Description

Tibor Juhász the owner of the winery never really thought he would settle down at one day and do something with great value attached to the land, growing vine and making wine. The family business grew everything was done by hand and great care, from carving the cellar (loess soil) to harvest and wine making. Tibor whose family name could be translated as shepherd (juhász and pásztor meaning the same) started his business in 2008. He is investing in new land and is building his own cellar, he is settling down for good.

Kadarka a fantastic grape variety, native to Hungary, brought in by the rác community when they fled from the ottomans (Turks). Thin skin, medium to low in tannin, but high in acidity, doesn’t like to be trained along a cordon and very vintage depending.

Szekszárd’s flagship variety, the Kadarka. Harvested with low yields and vinified traditionally, ripe raspberry with a touch of spice and mint on the nose. Recommended drinking temperature: 12-14°C.
