Bott Teleki

This is a 80+ year old stake trained loess heavy vineyard on the southern side of Tokaj Hill planted with both Hárslevelű and Furmint. They rarely if ever have to make cluster selections here, there’s just a strong natural balance and immunity built in. What grows is what is picked. Flowering came one month later than normal with really high sugar and acidity. Furmint shares a parent grape with Riesling, and it really shows in this vintage. Bright acids are rounded out in barrel and Judit is hoping to age some for a min of 10 years. Over a 110 years for the limited amount of Aszú. In other words, it has the alcohol and acidity for aging, but it’s also a real electric treat while young.
