This is just great. Is anybody looking for a super light-bodied, Pinot-esque red? Then look no further than Sebestyén's Kadarka (the Hungarian name for Gamza). This pup is incredibly light, weighing in at just 11.5% abv this boasts notes of wonderfully fresh wild strawberry, pink bubblegum and white truffle. A stunning account of eastern Europe's answer to Pinot Noir.

The Sebestyén winery is run by Csilla and Csaba Sebestyén, partners in crime who produce outstanding wine in Hungary's southern wine region of Szekszárd - a place where vines have been planted since the Roman times. The pair and their team work with a mix of indigenous grape varieties and some more internationally recognised ones (Merlot, Cabernet Franc) across their 12.5 hectares of vineyards. Sebestyén focuses on various single vineyard plots and has a meticulous approach to their vineyard management. The family-run estate is managed entirely by hand, and every year they make sure that 'green harvesting' is carried out. This is a technique that essentially reduces the yield of a vine; less grapes, yes, but a greater concentration of fruit and by virtue, a better quality of wine. Naturally the Kékfrankos (Blaufränkisch in Austria) red grape is a stalwart at Sebestyén (and in much of Hungary). This grape is vinified in a range of styles and has the potential to produce some seriously good juice. Amongst their range of local grape types is the Cserszegi fűszeres variety; a largely unknown grape type outside of Hungary and capable of producing attractive white wines with an exotic aromatic profile.
