Kreinbacher Juhfark Selection 2021

The latest Kreinbacher Selection wine in our range is the Juhfark Selection. A rich yet beautifully balanced wine, it has all the bold, intense notes that Kreinbacher is known for, but blended with the elegant, almost fragile style of the rare indigenous Juhfark grape. Floral and apricot notes combine with hints of beeswax, honey, caramel and the rich and smoky Somló minerality for which the region is known. Made from selected grapes harvested from 20-year-old vines grown without pesticides on the steep, rugged and rocky slopes of Somló Hill. Fermented and aged in 500-liter Hungarian oak barrels for 9 months.

Our tip: To fully appreciate the aromas, we suggest you let this Somló gem breathe for a while after opening. Giving it some time to unfold will enhance your tasting experience and reveal its true potential.

About the Kreinbacher winery

The Kreinbacher winery is one of the newest, and definitely the most state-of-the-art winery in Somló. The tiny wine region lies on the site of an extinct volcano, and produces some of Hungary’s most interesting white wines. Kreinacher’s modern winery building blends in organically with the slope of the hill, imitating the lava that once flowed down the side of the former volcano.

Instead of one large vineyard, Kreinbacher grows grapes on 198 different, sometimes tiny plots of land. All grapes are grown organically, and maximum care is taken towards the wine with every step of the winemaking process. The winery is also quickly becoming a pioneer in producing sparkling wine using the traditional method in Hungary.
