The nose opens with elegant and mesmerising notes of ripe sour cherry, rose hip and rhubarb jam paired with delicate violet and freshly ground pepper. The sip is intense, with a long lingering finish and vibrant acidity. Once experienced, there is no escape like a Siren’s song.

Interesting Facts
The crops come from a single vineyard site that was very densely planted with a massal-selection from Oszkar’s oldest Kadarka plantation. The vineyard is surrounded by a forest facing the Danube providing a unique microclimate and the perfect location for organic viticulture.
Vinification
The grapes are grown on bush-wines resulting in a very low yield of 0.3 kg/vines. They are hand-harvested and de-stemmed. Later, the juice ferments and ages in 350l old Hungarian oak barrels for 12 months. The wine gets bottled unfined, unfiltered without the addition of sulphur.
