The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine A little history. After the First World War, Hungary lost around 71% of its territory to Romania, Ukraine, Czechoslovakia (Slovakia), Yugoslavia (Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia) and Austria. Hungary's thousand-year-old wine-growing traditions have spread beyond the country's current borders. South of the Mužsla hills in Slovakia, we discovered the wines of the Bott Frigyes estate. Bott Frigyes and his son Frici work together on the family estate, founded in 2002, which covers 10 hectares. The vineyard, composed of volcanic clay, rich in minerals and limestone, is located in an ancient, historic wine-growing region. They follow the principles of biodynamic agriculture and produce wines of purity and elegance. We have selected their excellent Furmint for you!
Wine 2018 Mužsla Furmint is a dry white wine made from 100% Furmint grapes, offering delicate scents of white fruit punctuated by hints of bakery. On the palate, barely influenced by its delicate wood ageing, it surfs on pear flavours accompanied by delicate bitterness; this wine is full of depth and concentration with a beautiful long, persistent and mineral finish. Ideal for an impromptu aperitif, with some seafood on the table, ... happiness in all its simplicity!
