Wunderlich Kadarka 2007

Kadarka was a real curiosity of the vintage 2006 with its dry, botrytised character. In 2007 we made this limited series (1 187 numbered bottles) with a different method. We limited production to 2 400 kg/a and chose a relatively late time to harvest (the last days of October). The long, dry autumn completed the fully ripe tastes hidden in spicy Kadarka clone, but accentuated not botrytised features but many-layered spiciness. It was launched to the market after 14 months of traditional bolster and half a year bottle aging. First the cavalkade of the most beautiful Kadarka-type spicy aromas (clove, anise, hip) is fascinating, then it exhibits creamy, "hecsedli" jam like aromas. The wine is in complete balance with long aftertaste and exciting, vibrating finish. Our wine shows again how we can recreate traditional values at the highest quality. Kadarka needs this quality in traditional handcraft winery methods and is so grateful for gentle and modern technology in winemaking. Lojzis "wine-sculpture" presents us with fantastic creations and confirms that excellent infrastructure is not an obstacle but a necessary condition for a talented winemaker to exploit opportunities in terroire at the highest level. Before consumption we recommend at least half an hour airing so that we could fully enjoy each and every element of the wine.
