Bott Frigyes Kadarka 2023

Bott Frigyes Kadarka 2023 is produced by the Bott Frigyes winery in the Garam Valley of southern Slovakia. The estate farms close to ten hectares of vineyards on the Hill of Muzsla, overlooking the river Garam, within a historic winegrowing area shaped by the Danube basin. The soils are volcanic clay with a high limestone and mineral content, contributing freshness and finesse. The winery follows sustainable, low-intervention practices, and the wines are vegan friendly.

The 2023 Kadarka is made from 100% Kadarka, carefully hand-harvested to preserve aromatic purity. Fermentation is gentle, focusing on minimal extraction, followed by a short ageing period in stainless steel and large neutral vessels to retain freshness and varietal character. Light to medium-bodied in style, the wine offers flavours of red cherry, raspberry and cranberry, with floral notes, mild spice and lively acidity. It pairs well with roast poultry, grilled vegetables, charcuterie, light pork dishes and soft cheeses.
