NJK 2016

One sip of NJK and you’ll be shouting OMG. Our flagship wine, a dry red blend of Kékfrankos and Syrah from the Grand Cru Nagy-Eged Hill, Hungary’s highest vineyard, is named after winemaker Nimród János Kovács. An expression of Nimród’s ideal wine, NJK is fruity, flavorful, smoky, and smooth. 2016’s growing season at our Grand Cru Nagy-Eged Hill saw warm days and cool nights – the perfect combination to yield this flavorful blend of Kékfrankos and Syrah. Fruity, earthy, and oaky with just the right spice, its limestone terroir characteristics just keep getting better.

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.
