FRITTMANN Kunsági Kadarka 2020

Kadarka is a native grape variety often called the 'Hungarian Pinot Noir' due to its ability to create vibrant food-friendly and terroir-driven red wine.

An attractive light garnet red colour. The intensely fruity nose is packed with youthful, fresh aromas of leafy red berry fruits, cherries, sour cherries and spices. A lively and vibrant character with a spicy palate of red berries complemented by moderate acidity and smooth, gentle tannins, make this easy-drinking vintage the perfect everyday wine.

Food Pairing

The ideal accompaniment to goulash soup, stews, steaks and lamb chops. It also pairs very well with semi-hard cheese like Baracskai or spicy vegetarian dishes dominated by paprika. 

Serving temperature: 16-18°C
