Underdog Grape · Hungary

Juhfark

Juhfark is a high-acid white grown on a single Hungarian volcano, and the good bottles stay fresh for a decade. If you love Riesling for its tension and stony bite, this is the rarer, smokier cousin worth hunting.

Tasting profile
Lemon oil and struck flint over a saline, almost brothy core, with acidity sharp enough to make your jaw tighten.
