Somloi Vandor Jufark Oregtokek 2023

Kis Tamásis making small-production wines from his organic 8-hectare property on Somló. Somló is Hungary’s smallest and perhaps most distinctive appellation. Its soils, rich in black basalt and other volcanic minerals, give the wines a distinctive smoky quality.

2023 was a challenging vintage on Somló, so Kis only harvested Juhfark from his old vines (öregtőkék). The resulting wine is rounded, salty and mineral-driven, with white pepper, smoke, and golden apples on the nose and mouth. Great lively acidity. Spontaneous fermentation in 200, 300 and 500 L used and new Hungarian and French oak, and aging in barrels on the fine lees for 8 months. Unfiltered and unfined. Certified organic, low sulfites added.
