Characteristics of Szekszárd. Shown through our taste.

UK Focus: On-trade, independent. Heimann Kadarka 2017 is available at The Wine Society. About the winery: the story of the Swabians: After the end of the Ottoman occupation of Hungary in the 18th century Swabian farmers were encouraged by royal incentives to settle down in the de- populated regions. They brought along their advanced wine producing culture and entrepreneurial, hard-working spirit. They planted vine on the abandoned hillsides and revitalized trade. The Heimanns belonged to the “lower street Swabians” in Szekszárd and were one of the enterprising and hard-work- ing farmer families.

The Szekszárd appellation covers the easternmost stretches of the Transdanubian Hills. The thick loess soil of the slopes produces round wines with elegant, fruity aromas. The Mediterranean influence makes the autumns warm and sunny enabling us to at optimal ripeness.

The family believes that the future of our estate lies with local varieties, their commitment is reflected in the structure of their new plantings, viticultural experiments and wines are farmed on an organic way.

Ferenc Heimann on returning from the war, handed over the management of the family estate to his son, who was instrumental in the implementation of the first large scale cordon-trained vine plantings, the establishment of the local cooperative for vine crofts and also the founding of the local winery Aliscavin.

Zoltán) and his wife, Ágnes have left their respective careers as successful economists to return to and winemaking. Since 1990 they have reorganised the family estate.

www.heimann.hu 6 Zoltán Jr. studied viticulture and enology in Geisenheim, Montpellier, Bordeaux and Udine. After 6 years of studies, he is now taking over the control over viticulture and winemaking responsibilities.

The wine region of Szekszárd, known mostly for its famous Kadarka , has been noted for its wine culture since Roman times and became one of the main centres of Hungarian red wine production in the 15th century. As the climate ofthe sunny wine region is rather balanced, excellent red grapes can grow on the mostly loess lands. Szekszárd reds are known for their velvety texture, and often show a lot of elegance. Szekszárd, along with , is also one of the two regions that produce the famous Hungarian Bikavér.
