Why We Love It

We love Faricka Kékfrankos because it captures everything that makes Bott Frigyes special: volcanic tension, freshness, elegance and remarkable clarity of place.

Description

Faricka Kékfrankos is a vibrant red from the Faricka top parcel in Mužla. The nose is fragrant and spice-driven, with sour cherry, wild strawberry, red currants, white pepper, dried herbs and a subtle earthy undertone. On the palate, fine-grained tannins and vivid acidity keep the wine precise and elegant, while volcanic minerality gives savoury depth.
