Description
Erhard and Evelyne Heumann are a German/Swiss couple who were led by fate to switch careers and settle in Villány to make wine. After Evelyne’s father travelled to Villány and ended up buying some vineyards, the Heumanns started making wine there in 1993, bottled their first professional wine in 2003, and have steadily been building on their wine business since then. What started as a hobby is now a full-time job, with both of them devoted to the success and quality of the winery. Villány, located in the southernmost part of Hungary, is one of Hungary’s most prized red-wine-producing regions. It’s a region filled with whitewashed old cellar rows, and beautiful vineyards. Their wines are opulent, concentrated, and dreamy, and are consistently among Hungary’s most highly rated reds. Blue Secret is their latest wine. It was released to market just a few weeks ago. This is probably the first time this wine will leave the border to make its way to thirsty consumers in Europe, thanks to you! This wine is a blend of Kekfrankos (70 percent), Cabernet Sauvignon (15 percent) and Merlot (15 percent). It is a fresh, crisp, and easy-drinking wine, regardless of its fairly high alcohol level (14 percent). This is a really food-friendly wine, and anything grilled—from vegetables to meats—would make a good pairing.
