Tasting Notes
Rich and expressive, with ripe blackcurrant, blackberry and plum layered with violet, black pepper and subtle dried herbs. The palate is generous and structured, showing juicy dark fruit, fresh acidity and polished tannins, with notes of tobacco, cocoa and savoury spice emerging with air. Well-integrated oak adds depth without overwhelming the fruit, leading to a long, warm and elegantly spicy finish.

Producer
Vida Péter is one of the defining producers of modern Szekszárd and a passionate champion of Hungary’s indigenous grape varieties. Founded as a family estate and built over more than three decades, the winery today farms 23 hectares across some of Szekszárd’s finest valleys and vineyards.
Named Hungary’s Winemaker of the Year in 2011, Péter Vida has long believed that the true identity of Szekszárd lies not in powerful international-style reds, but in elegant, expressive wines based on Kadarka, Kékfrankos and the historic Bikavér blend.
Today, the next generation of the Vida family continues this philosophy, combining careful vineyard work with a fresh, increasingly precise approach in the cellar. Particular attention is given to preserving and revitalising Kadarka, including the estate’s remarkable century-old Bonsai vines and their selected descendants.
The result is a distinctly Szekszárd style: fragrant, elegant and full of character, with freshness and drinkability always taking precedence over sheer power.
