Heimann és Fiai – Szívem – Blaufränkisch

The grapes for this Kékfrankos are grown in the middle of the Baranya-völgy in vineyards enjoying abundant sunshine. With a southeast exposure the valley opens to the Great Hungarian Plain so the grapes ripen early and yield consistently rich wines. The 50 year old vineyard was restructured in 2009 and since then it is one of the gems of our estate.

“Not terribly expressive on the nose, showing quiet restraint, but if you coax it, its palms open a little to give you jasmine tea leaf and cacao shells and caraway seed. There is intensity on the palate: mulberries and mica, black pepper and ink, although it’s tightly ruched and you won’t really see the full glory of this wine for a couple of years. The tannins are more pronounced than in his other two single-vineyard wines, which is not to say it’s tannic. These are tannins as fine and fitting as an alpaca-wool suit. With time, the mulberry sweetness starts to shyly come towards the taster, like a deer. Spine-tingling purity and focus and drive. Ink dust and a glowing black-pearl luminosity. Needs to be cellared for a couple of years. (TC) Drink 2022 – 2028”
