Heimann Fiai Piros Szekszárd 2024

I’m deeply convinced that the future of red wine lies—at least partly—in light reds. The kind you can chill. The kind that tastes like vibrant berry cordial, with juicy acidity dancing on your palate. This one’s made from two-thirds Kékfrankos, whole-cluster pressed, gently settled, then fermented like a rosé—though with a touch of whole berries and stems for complexity. The rest? One-third Kadarka, of course.

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
