Bott Frigyes Hárslevelű

Hárslevelű is one of the most unique grape varieties in Central Europe – a relative of the Hungarian Furmint. It has aromas of linden blossom with honied chestnut, pear and apricot. Dry palate, balanced acidity with a silky texture, medium body.

Spontaneous fermentation and 9 months on the lees in Stockinger barrels add complexity, while the great reductive strength comes from the volcanic terroir. Bott Frigyes is a tiny family producer in Southern Slovakia, who takes the Burgundian approach and quality to winemaking with a Central European twist.

Single-vineyard Hárslevelű develops well in bottle, so you can also lay them down for a year or two. Very enjoyable on its own, however due to its rich flavours and a delicate volcanic minerality, you can go complex with food pairings. John Dory, turbot or even veal are good choices with high-quality Hárslevelű.

Extremely limited. Maximum 1 bottle per order.
