In this podcast we talk with\\xa0Zolt\\xe1n Heimann whose family, HEIMANN & FIAI, has a long and distinguished history of quality winemaking in the southern Hungarian wine region of Szeksz\\xe1rd - on the border between the Large Hungarian Plain and the beginnings of the Transdanubian Hills.

Zolt\\xe1n likes to refer to himself as the \'Kadarka Man\'.\\xa0 After this tasting and podcast I\'ll always be in his debt as knowing my Kekfrankos from my Kadarkas! Each grape is brilliant. Each is unique and completely different to one another.\\xa0

This podcast was recorded at The Lodge at Ashford Castle where Zolt\\xe1n gave a masterclass food and wine matching meal the night previous. At the tasting we progressed from Village (Szeksz\\xe1rd) to Single Vineyards (Bati Kereszt and Baranya-volgy) to Szivem (a parcel selection wine from Baranya-volgy).

These are wines to explore and to support. Really excellent.\\xa0
