Somlói Juhfark

weighty and unctuous, but zingy acidity keeps you wanting more. baked pineapple, jasmine, sage honey. a bit unbalanced but quite interesting nonetheless.

@edanch: 'Drink copious amounts of Juhfark, a son will follow. Local lore.'

Professor @edanch takes us to Somlo! Basalt. Make room Chenin!

Honey notes, creamy, burnt caramel, orange peel, roasted peaches

Dank! Apparently the last vintage from this 90 year old winemaker. A bizarrely subtle smokey flavor on the finish. 💥

Juhfark- not pronounced like a certain bearded Disney character...the j is silent like in "jogging". Great juice.

This reminded me of oxidized Chardonnay on its nose, but had slatey minerals and linear steeliness. Super delicious and intriguing.

Medium gold with very subtle, green highlights. Aromas of golden apple, passion fruit, wet slate, straw, and a spicy Gewurtztraminer-like note. Rich, almost buttery (in a good way), with excellent balance. This is much like a Riesling or Sauv blanc or Chenin blanc with aging potential, easily holding its own as the wine to accompany a main course such as roast chicken with thyme or similar. A delight and also a bargain!

Roasted peanut skins.
