Juhfark is one of the few native Hungarian grapes that survived the phylloxera epidemic and today it can be found almost nowhere outside Somló. Juhfark’s name translates to “sheep’s tail” because that is what the grape’s elongated clusters resemble. Since Juhfark is prone to rotting, other grape varieties have surpassed it over time, but winemakers have recently started planting it again and it is again the most planted varietal found in Somló.
Winemaking: Hand harvested, fermented at low temperature, stainless-steel tanks, 25% of the finished wine is aged in oak for 8 months.
