2019 Bott Frigyes Harslevelu Južnoslovenská Slovakia

WSI93+ Saline, crisp, superb minerality and mouthwatering. Long rich finish, this wine displays impressive balance between racey minerality and ripe stewed stone fruit flavors. Exciting, would pair greatly with salmon!
This was the first wine we ever imported from Frigyes and Frici.  All the fruit is whole cluster pressed, spends 1 day on the skins, and then ferments and ages for a minimum of 10 months in barrel on the lees without stirring. Given the extra gentle handling, some whole berries were fermented in the juice, but the overall effect is not enough to qualify as a full-fledged skin contact white. There is however definitely some stuffing and intensity to balance out the high acid mineral and stone fruit aromatics of the grape.
