Eszterbauer Tüke Bikavér

Eszterbauer Tüke Bikavér

Kékfrankos

Vintage: 2011
Description: Our Notes: The Tüke, or "local" featured on the front of Eszterbauer Szekszárdi Bikavér is the great-grandfather of proprietor János Eszterbauer and was a hostage of the Communist dictatorship. Upon his release in 1919, he helped found the reputable "Szekszárd's Cellar Alliance". The Bikavér tradition is connected to the red grape Kadarka which came to dominate the hills of Szekszárd after phylloxera wiped out most of the original white varieties. Susceptible to frost and rot, it was largely replaced with Kékfrankos and Bordeaux varieties during the Communist period. Today only 60 hectares of Kadarka are left in the region. This richly perfumed Kékfrankos and Kadarka heavy Bikavér pays humble homage to Tüke and this traditional wine. Imagine cool climate Châteauneuf-du-Pape, exotic and with power while remaining light on its feet. Excellent with braised fowl, traditional goulash or Middle Eastern lamb dishes.
