Red Single Varieties

Single varietal wine is a fascinating category to judge, as you’re not comparing apples to oranges, you’re evaluating each wine blind on its own merits – without knowing what it is, what price bracket it’s in etc. And there are five countries represented here! BC is here and scoring high points (with two such completely different wines!) and it’s great see South Africa so well represented. Hungary is here with a wine made from Kadarka grapes! New to you? Now we’ll definitely have to try it!
