NJK 2016

An expression of Nimrod's ideal wine, the NJK is an ode to what is possible. Before releasing the NJK, we ensure it has been amply aged in both barrels and bottles to ensure it is ready to be enjoyed now, but it will only get better for the decades to come.

Tasting Notes

Aromas of allspice and tobacco. Concreted flavors of smoked raspberry and bramble. Plum liqueur palette hints and velvety tannins. Rich, full-bodied, and anything but subdued.

Vineyard Notes

Nagy Eged is a Grand Cru terroir and the region's highest vineyard at 1500 feet. The soil here is primarily limestone and is steeply sloped, which varies drastically from all other vineyards in the area. Here a southern exposure and sparse soils create concentrated, mineral-rich wines worthy of lengthy cellar aging.

Pairings

Serves well with bigger, more complex dishes, mainly meat (beef, pork, lamb) - or chicken with a hearty sauce.Serves well with bigger, more complex dishes, mainly meat (beef, pork, lamb) - or chicken with a hearty sauce.
