Csóka is a true rarity. The autochthonous variety has been grown in Hungary prior Kadarka but it is practically extinct today. Because of the special characteristics of this grape variety, we decided to save it and plant it on our estate once again. In cooperation with the Pécs Research Institute for Viticulture and Oenology, we launched an exciting experiment in spring 2004, grafting Kadarka plants with the ancient Hungarian variety, Csóka. The experiment yielded success, with 4000 vines, we have become the proud holders of Hungary’s largest Csóka plantation! This ancient variety has a distinct personality. Its unique characteristics are represented in this relatively warm vintage through the aromatic notes of rose hip jelly, liquorice and dried sour cherry. A medium-bodied wine with fine acidity.
