Juhfark, Kolonics Nagy-Somloi 2022
Juhfark from the well respected Kolonics estate, a small winery (less than 10 hectares) based in the Somló hills. This indigenous variety is almost exclusively grown in this small area of Hungary, planted on complex volcanic soils. This wine comes from the Zrinyi Ilona vat and displays quince, ripe stone fruits, straw, white pepper and verbena balanced with a rich and juicy palate. There is a smoky minerality that adds complexity on the finish

Kolonics
Karoly Kolonics is a fourth-generation winemaker in the small Hungarian appellation of Somló (pronounced shomlo). Somló is a volcanic hill, the uneroded core of an ancient sea-bed volcano, standing proud on the Pannonian Plain north of Lake Balaton, with unique basalt soils.
Most growers here are weekenders, making wine for themselves, but Kolonics is entirely professional and Karoly’s passion for this area and its native grapes is second to none. He grows furmint, hárslevelű, olaszrizling and juhfark (pronounced you-fark) sustainably and with great skill across his bijou estate on the south side of the hill.
Yields are restricted to ensure good fruit and winemaking is traditional in its use of indigenous yeasts and fermentation and ageing in both oak and acacia barrels.
