Heimann SZRD 2019

Reviewed on June 10, 2022

This time of year, I'm always on the lookout for a fun Summer Barbecue wine. I want something fruit forward and versatile to cover the gamut from veggie burgers to pork tenderloin, and burgers to sirloin steak. I also want something unique so that there won't be worry for duplication when I am invited to a party. The Heimann SXRD from Hungary is my red pick for Summer 2022. If I had to sum it up in a few words I would say - smooth and spicy. It is a blend of 4 grapes - Kekfrankos, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Portugeiser. It reminds me of a cross between an old world Pinot Noir and a Chianti Classico!
