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!
