A discreet yeasty spice rounds off the bouquet and lends the wine an appealing depth.

On the palate, Juhfark - Bott Frigyes shows a creamy texture that glides elegantly over the tongue. The acid structure appears lively and clear, while harmonizing wonderfully with the delicate smoothness from maturation on the fine lees.

A medium body meets a fine, linear structure that gives the wine tension and length.

Production of Juhfark by Bott Frigyes

The grapes for Juhfark by Bott Frigyes come from carefully selected vineyards in Južnoslovenská in the south of Slovakia. The area lies on the Danube and benefits from an intriguing interplay of continental climate and moderating river winds. Warm days bring ripe aromas, cool nights preserve freshness and clarity in the fruit. These temperature swings give the wine its tension and firm structure.

The vines grow on a variety of soils ranging from loess and clay to calcareous inclusions. These subsoils store warmth and release it slowly to the vines. At the same time, they contribute a fine minerality that later becomes noticeable in the wine. Bott Frigyes works with particular care in the vineyard and places great importance on nature-oriented cultivation. Each parcel receives individual attention so that the Juhfark grape clearly expresses its origin in the glass.

Harvesting is carried out with great care, usually in several passes, so that only perfectly ripe and aromatically dense grapes arrive in the cellar. Gentle hand-picking reduces pressure on the berries, preserves the delicate aromas and prevents undesirable bitter substances. After arriving at the winery, the grapes are gently transferred to the press, where a soft pressing lays the foundation for the clear, delicate style of this white wine.

Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. This keeps the varietal-typical, clear fruit of Juhfark in the foreground. The wine then matures sur lie, that is, on the fine lees. This elaborate process gives Juhfark - Bott Frigyes its creamy texture, additional depth on the palate, and a subtle, bready spice. Regular stirring of the lees intensifies the smoothness without compromising the wine’s freshness.

The style of Bott Frigyes combines precision with finesse. The philosophy aims at authentic, terroir-driven wines full of character. In the cellar, the approach is restrained so that the grape variety and origin can speak. No heavy use of wood, no overloaded body – instead, clarity, structure and concentrated aromatics. In this way, Juhfark - Bott Frigyes presents itself as an unadulterated ambassador of its region.
