2024 Bott Frigyes Just Enjoy Red

A blend of approximately 90% Kékfrankos (Blaufränkisch) and 10% Olaszrizling, fermented separately using the layered Hamburger method (80% destemmed, 10% whole bunches, 10% juice) for 17 days before blending. This natural wine undergoes minimal intervention, with gentle maceration and complete fermentation leaving minimal residual sugar. The estate cultivates around ten hectares of vineyard on volcanic, clay-rich, limestone-infused soils on the south-facing slopes of the Muzsla Hills, imparting vibrant acidity and minerality. The wine is bottled unfiltered and unfined with a touch of fine lees, producing a medium-bodied expression with thoughtful winemaking that balances accessibility with natural wine character.
