Red
2018 Heimann & Fiai Kadarka Hungary, Dél-Pannónia, Szekszárdi
86 points
The entry level Kadarka in the lineup. A good example of the variety, pale, fragile, easy drinking, but there is unusual spiciness here lead by black pepper – it must come from the stems and a common feature of these wines (except one, which is made from destemmed grapes). Crisp acidity and noticeable tannins (Kadarka usually lacks tannin). A pretty, easy drinking wine.
Red
2018 Heimann & Fiai Kadarka Porkoláb-völgy Hungary, Dél-Pannónia, Szekszárdi
88 points
P123, P115 and P131 clones. The spices of the previous Kadarka, but this one is more fuity, has more depth and structure. Airy, like a light Pinot Noir, but tannins are more noticeable, reaching medium level. Round, polished, pure, this is really nice and drinks so well.
Red
2018 Heimann & Fiai Kékfrankos Hungary, Dél-Pannónia, Szekszárdi
87 points
The entry level Kékfrankos. So pure and fresh compared to most Szekszárd reds, without a hint of heaviness. Just a bit of funk, but it’s quite precise. Some green aromas from the stem. Round, balanced, hardly medium-bodied, with the support of enough tannins. Not a complex wine, but such a pure rendition of the variety, and again, the focus is on drinkability and honesty.

Red
2018 Heimann & Fiai Kékfrankos Bati kereszt Hungary, Dél-Pannónia, Szekszárdi
86 points
A single vineyard wine. The only one in the lineup which is made from completely destemmed grapes. A textbook Kékfrankos with it’s sour cherry aromas – it’s pretty, but a bit simple and I actually found the others a bit more interesting. A restrained style. Round and seamless, balanced and dry.
Red
2018 Heimann & Fiai Kékfrankos Baranya-völgy Hungary, Dél-Pannónia, Szekszárdi
88 points
Single vineyard wine. Shows more fruits then their entry level Kékfrankos, it’s more interesting. Ripe berry fruits, red and purple, and some black pepper. Seamless, medium bodied, with good drive. Unforced, even light a bit, but drinks so well, it’s quite refreshing, and the purity is just captivating.

2018 Heimann & Fiai Kékfrankos Szívem Hungary, Dél-Pannónia, Szekszárdi
90 points
The old vine selection from the Baranya-völgy. Just what you would expect, a similar wine to the regular Baranya-völgy, but it’s a bit darker and riper, has more depth and structure – while still retaining good freshness and great balance. This is a great wine.

2018 Heimann & Fiai Kékfrankos Experiment Hungary, Dél-Pannónia, Szekszárdi
85 points
Made with carbonic maceration. It has good intensity and it’s simply delicious, but a bit funky and simple. Probably not for everyone.
