Terra Tartaro – Heumann Borok

This concentrated, yet beautifully balanced and complex blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (60%), Merlot (30%), and Cabernet Franc (10%) comes from Hungary’s premier red wine region of Villány, in the southwest of Hungary. Grapes come from the Siklós’ Városhegy, Márfa’s Hegytető, and Vokány’ Trinitás vineyards. All of the sites have loess in common, with Városhegy containing an especially high proportion of limestone, which adds extra structure-building acidity that delivers both acidity and freshness to delightfully cut through the wine’s intense southern ripeness. This wine was fermented in temperature-controlled steel tanks at 28-30°C, then aged in Hungarian barriques (225 liters) and double barriques (500 liters) for 24 months. It has a deep, vivid ruby color, pronounced aromas of tobacco, earthiness, autumn leaves, dark chocolate, plum, black fruit, and dried fruit, with similar flavors following on the palate. It’s very well-crafted—a Left Bank Bordeaux-style blend, with a southern Hungarian twist—and is maturing beautifully. It has expertly integrated oak and fabulous fine-grained tannins and structured acidity fleshing out the layered, juicy, and rich palate, with cherry liqueur, dark chocolate, and winter spices on the finish. It is great with all manne…

The Villány-Siklós region lies near the Croatian border and because it’s the warmest of Hungary’s wine regions, it’s often called the “Mediterranean of Hungary.” Known as one of Hungary’s prime red wine region, it specializes in Bordeaux varieties and some local varieties, such as Portugieser and Kékfrankos. There are 11 villages in the region, with the village of Villány itself being the focal point. It’s a quaint village, and its strong Swabian influence is evident in its neat main drag lined with traditional whitewashed wine cellars where the wine always flows. Villány steals the spotlight from Siklós, which is to the west, the part of the region specializing in whites such as Olaszrizling, Hárslevelű, and Chardonnay.

Villány was one of the wine regions which re-started the earliest after Communism fell. In the mid-1990s a slew of modern wineries were built, vineyards were re-planted, and families which had been making wine for generations could once again share their wines with the world.

The region’s success was an essential part in the re-building of the Hungarian wine industry as a whole. Hungarian tourists flocked here to spend wine-fueled weekends at the charming winery-owned pensions, and soon the word spread internationally. For wine tourists, it’s a great place to visit, and many of the wineries run their own inns, hotels, and restaurants.

Villány’s signature grape is Portugieser (formerly called Kékoportó), and Kékfrankos is also widely planted. Kadarka—a native variety that was the most widely planted red grape in 19th-century Hungary, but wasn’t suitable to mass production during the Communist era —has also been re-planted in areas.

Much of Villány’s wine is made with internationally known grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Pinot Noir. It has become clear over the past two decades of experimentation that Cabernet Franc is the super-star of the region. Tasting premier single varietal Cabernet Francs here (which winemakers have dubbed “Villányi Franc” to help with the branding) is pure pleasure. Cab Francs from Villány have received rave reviews from wine critics, and have won prestigious international awards.

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 wine cellar rows, and beautiful vineyards. Their wines are opulent, concentrated, and dreamy, and are consistently among Hungary’s most highly rated reds.
