Heimann Fiai Bikavér Szekszárd 2022

My grandfather once said, ‘A good wine has a long finish,’ sometime in the early 90s. I really liked that phrase, and I think it perfectly suits the first Bull’s Blood (Bikavér) I’ve made. In my opinion, Bikavér is not only a classic in name but also in style: its length of flavor comes from the interplay between tannins and fruity acids. At the forefront are the fruits of Kékfrankos, framed perfectly by aging in large barrels.

Heimann Family Winery in Szekszárd, Hungary, boasts a vinicultural legacy dating back to 1758, rooted in Swabian heritage. They cultivate around 25 ha of vineyards, blending international Bordeaux varieties with indigenous grapes like Kadarka and Kékfrankos. Under Zoltán Sr. and Ágnes Heimann, the estate underwent modernization from 1989 onward, expanding cellars and acreage, introducing organic practices. With the generational shift around 2016, the "Heimann & Fiai" label emerged, spotlighting terroir-driven, lighter-style wines—especially Kadarka (Zoltán Jr. is nicknamed “Kadarka‑Man”) and Kékfrankos. These wines are crafted via spontaneous fermentation, minimal sulfur, large wooden vessels, and whole‑cluster fermentation to emphasize freshness and varietal purity
