A deeper, more structured expression of Kadarka, showing the warm vintage and the grape’s darker, more serious side without losing its innate charm. The nose brings sour cherry, wild strawberry, and subtle spice, with a hint of earthiness. The palate is rounded and composed, with structured, fine tannins, juicy red fruit, and a gentle savoury edge giving an easy, approachable flow. Still light on its feet, but with added depth and presence — a compelling, characterful take on this historic variety.
