HEIMANN &Fiai Bikavér 2022

Hand-harvested, whole-bunch and spontaneously fermented, this wine is based on Kékfrankos, complemented by one of the winery’s key varieties, Kadarka. Loads of spices and tannins – everything one expects from a classic Bikavér. On the palate, rustic freshness comes from the balance between tannins and acidity, with blackberries and sour cherries emerging on the finish. A rugged Kékfrankos-driven blend crafted in the distinctive style of Zoltán Heimann Jr.

The winemaker's words:

My grandfather once said, ‘A good wine has a long finish,’ sometime in the early 90s. I really liked that phrase, and I think it perfectly suits the first Bull’s Blood (Bikavér) I’ve made. In my opinion, Bikavér is not only a classic in name but also in style: its length of flavor comes from the interplay between tannins and fruity acids. At the forefront are the fruits of Kékfrankos, framed perfectly by aging in large barrels.
