From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kadarka is an old red wine grape varietal, most popular in Hungary, where it was introduced with the Turkish occupation. It is an important constituent of the Hungarian red cuvée Bull's Blood of Eger or Szekszárd. Probably originating from Albania region, it is recently also cultivated in Bulgaria, where it has been previously known as Gamza. It is also grown in most other eastern European countries where it is sometimes known as Cadarka or Skadarska. [1]
The Kadarka wine is characterised by full, easily recognizable taste, deep aroma and dark or medium dark colour. Kadarka is often used for cuvees including some of the Egri Bikavérs, and also for production of table wines. Best Kadarka is grown in Szekszárd and Villány wine regions of Hungary.
