1 person found it helpfulJul 26th, 2013From an obscure, nearly extinct grape variety, Juhfark translated literally means "sheep's tail" so named because tightly clustered bunches have a distinctive curve at the tip. Found only in the Somló region of Hungary, this non-aromatic variety is typically aged in large oak barriques. Meyer lemon zest, cling peaches, chamomile, and white flowers round out the nose. It's a broad-shouldered white with a coursing vein of acidity, along with a mineral upwelling that showcases an ashy, volcanic soil type. Sample

Jul 14th, 2015Under ripe pineapple, Meyer lemon, lime zest, banana skin, almonds, walnuts, a little oxidative, slight feeling of sherry in this while at the same time acidic. Nice wine but this wine needs food. Whites soft cheese and nuts.
