Vintage: 2023 Origin: Garam Valley, Slovakia Grapes: Furmint Alcohol: 13% Bott Frigyes Furmint 2023 is an elegant white wine from Slovakia, showcasing the brilliant potential of the Furmint grape in this region. This refined expression opens with zesty citrus notes and a distinctive flinty minerality, while delicate white floral aromas add layers of sophistication. The winemaking approach emphasizes traditional methods: hand-harvested whole bunches are gently pressed in a vertical basket press, with the juice flowing by gravity into Zemplén oak barrels of varying sizes (225l, 300l, and 400l). Here, the wine undergoes spontaneous fermentation and rests on its lees for 8 months, developing complexity while maintaining its vibrant character. The result is a beautifully structured wine with crisp acidity and a lively, refreshing finish that perfectly balances freshness with nuanced complexity.
