Heimann, Birtokbor, Szekszárd, 2011, red wine from Hungary
4,5 points
My friend Gabor Kereszty brought me a box of six different wines from the Hungarian winery Heimann. Although I thought I would know more than others about Hungarian wine, I must admit I didn’t know of Heimann, from the southern city of Szekszard.
Like all really good Hungarian wine, this is a cuvée! Birtokbor contains Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Kékfrankos (Blaufränkisch) and Syrah – according to the website of Heimann (http://www.heimann.hu/en/menu/wines). It is the very well-balanced combination of grapes that makes it very notable and, simply speaking, good.
