Heimann Barbár
€36,20 inc. VAT
Heimann Barbár is a blend of the best lots, our flagship wine. It delivers all the things we’re looking for in a great wine: intriguing, fascinating aromas, rich fruit, depth, strong character, individuality and exciting wholeness. The name ’Barbarian’ was inspired by a piano piece called Allegro Barbaro written by the preeminent Hungarian composer Béla Bartók. Barbár is not made in every year. It is produced in those vintages only when grapes of optimal ripeness and perfect health are picked and the vinification provides wines of impeccable quality

Vinification: All the grapes are picked at optimal ripeness and after manual sorting the different varieties are vinified separately. With twice a day pumping over the fermented grapes are gently pressed after 20-24 days. Malolactic fermentation is done in tanks right after the fermentation and once this has been completed it is followed by ageing in barrels.
Merlot and Cabernet Franc lots are aged in 300-liter oak barrels (20% first filled and another 50% second- and third-filled), Tannat and Kékfrankos is aged in large barrels of 5 and 10 hl. These latter varieties are responsible for the fruit and vigour in the final blend of Barbár. Blending is done after 12 months of ageing. This is a carefully structured process of a series of tastings and blendings and discussions until we arrive at the version deemed best. Bottling is done ahead of the next harvest and the wine goes through at least 5-6 months of ageing in bottle before it’s being released.
