Notes & Pairings
Much like our experiment with Losonci’s Pinot Noir, we were pleasantly surprised with this wine. As many of the Bott Frigyes wines, this was open vat fermented in three layers: foot trodden, whole clusters, and destemmed. Minimal punchdowns and no pumpovers and just under 4 weeks. Basket pressed into 500L barrels it then aged 8 months. Bottled unfiltered and unfined, this has a ton of energy and is slightly richer in weight and texture than the Kadarka.
