2022 Előhegy Furmint

This is something we rarely get our hands on because it’s only about .5 hectares. The 50 year-old site also has significant sentimental value above and beyond its deep loess soils – it was a part of their wedding gift. Planted to both Furmint and Hárslevelű on the Western side of Tokaj hill, the deep loess handles drought extremely well and gives super high acidity while holding onto aromatics as well. It’s a stone’s throw from Kikelet’s Lónyai vineyard too. In the 1867 Tokaj Hegyaljai Album, Előhegy was said to, “unite all those desirable features of a site one can imagine.” And like most of the Bott wines, these come in super young and fresh but really benefit from 3-5 years to begin taking their first big strides.
