Vinification
After hand harvest the bunches are pressed as whole in a vertical basket press. Then, the juice is transferred by gravity to various sizes (225l, 300l and 400l) of Zemplén oak barrels. This is where it ferments spontaneously and ages on the lees for 8 months.
2022 was a warm year with sufficient amount of rain. It brought out really healthy crop, which resulted in wines with great concentration and elegance. One of the best vintages of the last decade for the Bott family.
