Füleky Tokaji Kabar, Vinnai vineyard, Tarcal village, 2019

Kabar is the youngest grape variety between the six permitted grapes of the Tokaj Region. It’s a cross of Hárslevelű and Bouvier, and it is an earlier ripening grape than the two main grapes of Tokaj, Furmint and Hárslevelű. It produces high quality noble grapes almost every year. Ideal for the production of both dry and sweet wines. In case of dry wine production the date of the harvest is crucial, as it may become semi-dry or semi-sweet very quickly. Füleky Kabar 2019, produced in a hot year, is semi-dry.

Tasting note: Fresh ripe grapes on the nose with a delicious spiciness, sweets, ripe exotic fruits. Taste the harmony of intensive flavours, fruitiness and spiciness. Around 10 g of natural residual sugar makes this wine incredibly vital and intensive. Exceedingly clear finish with overripe citrus, an abundance of juicy fruity remains in the mouth. A full and big-bodied wine from perfectly ripe Kabar grapes.
