Super Granum Red

Bott Frigyes

Tasting Notes:

50% Blaufränkisch, 30% Pinot Noir, 20% Kadarka.

Southern Slovak wine region, Mužla village. Each variety was vinified separately, selecting the best barrels. Spontaneous fermentation, complete malolactic fermentation, wine matured in oak barrels on fine sediment. Blaufränkisch vinified in the form of a "hamburger". Three different forms of processed grapes were gradually placed in the fermentation vat. The first part, approximately 10 to 15%, was grape-stomped by feet, the second part, with a volume of just over 50%, consisted of whole clusters, and the last part consisted of destemmed berries. Produced using traditional methods without the use of selected yeasts, enzymes, and other additives. Bottled without clarification and filtration.

Clear ruby-red color with a purple rim on the glass edge. The wine is still very young, but its exceptional potential is already evident! Intense aroma dominated by ripe red fruit and dark berries, along with hints of flowers and spices. Freshness and juiciness dominate the palate. Despite its "only" 13% alcohol, the wine has an impressive structure and internal strength. The richness of fruit that can literally be chewed fills the entire mouth. On the palate, it is dry, with a moderately full, elegant taste and velvety tannins. The freshness is enhanced by exemplary acidity. The wine is incredibly easy to drink. Long finish with a pronounced fruity line on the palate. Impressive red with excellent aging potential.

About Winery

Bott Frigyes is known as absolute top producer in Slovakia

The vineyards are located on the border with Hungary, specifically on southern slopes of the Muzsla Hills, in the heart of the historic wine region in the geographical triangle defined by the River Garam and the Danube. The soil is made up of a clay layer on top of a volcanic bedrock, rich in limestone and minerals. Frigyes recently transitioned from organic viticulture to biodynamic methods in his vineyards.

Frigyes specializes on clean, light and grape-typical wines that capture the essence of traditional Hungarian and Central European grape varieties bestowed by the wine region: Furmint, Hárslevelu, Juhfark, Kékfrankos and Kadarka. The wines spontaneously ferment and are aged in Hungarian oak barrels between 6 to 12 months. While some of the wines undergo careful filtration, all of them receive a light touch of sulphur during the bottling process.
