Gal Tibor: Pinot Noir 2014Nice ruby colour. Characteristic ripe Pinot Noir notes in the nose. Be-sides exciting combination of fruits,a hint of tobacco can be discovered in the fragrance.

Barbár – the Barbarian – is the flagship wine of our winery. It showcases all the virtues we expect from a great wine: finer shades and exciting aromas waiting to be explored, lots of fruit, depth, char-

acter and terroir expression adding up to a balanced whole.

The name and the story behind it expresses the soul and character of Zoltán Heimann. Barbár was in-spired by the great Hungarian composer Béla Bartók. As a response to the critics who dismissed Bartók’s music as barbaric the composer wrote a piece with the title Allegro Barbaro. This mould-breaking, eclec-tic piano work shows some common traits with our Barbár: while it is undeniably powerful and highly expressive, it is also elegant, varied and magnetic.

36% Cabernet Franc, 28% Merlot, 18% Tannat, 17% KékfrankosThe youngest Barbár is obviously the most tense right now. Fine forest fruits, multicolored aroma, vibrant acidity. Balanced, not cumbersome. Its taste is long and enjoyable.

Production: 15,268 bottles and 200 magnumsAlcohol: 15% vol.Residual sugar: 2,7 g/lTotal acidity: 5,4 g/lDry extract: 31,2 g/l

Ormonde: Pinot Noir 2014

Pinot Noir is elegance, is mystique, is pensive.

potential.

Ormonde: Sauvignon Blanc 2015

Sauvignon Blanc from the Darling appellation is very aromatic, due to part of the uniqueness and the location of the terroir. We set out to produce a wine which offers more focus on the structure of the palate. Although challenging this wine offers a new dimension of length and

concentration on the palate.

Comments: The Ormonde Sauvignon is an unwooded Sauvignon made from the very best grapes we select on the Ormonde Estate.

Aroma: An explosion of tropical fruit with gooseberry and ripe figs being prominent. The palate shows striking minerality with lovely greenpepper undertones.

Finish: Creamy texture with a long lingering mid palate and zesty acidity.

Food Pairing: Steamed seawater crayfish with homemade mayonnaise.
